Recuerda que la concentración se "entrena", así que esos periodos dónde nuestros peques se concentran son sumamente valiosos y no debemos interrumpir, poco a poco los periodos serán más largos y no necesitará de estímulos externos o de hacerle una "fiesta" para mantenerlo entretenido, tu peque aprenderá a concentrarse en sus actividades y juegos si tú le ayudas "no interrumpiendo" 🌿

SMART TIP OF THE WEEK... Studies reveal more problems with "multitasking." It takes twice as long to do two things at once and you'll make 50% more errors. It also takes 5 minutes to recover from a 30-second interruption. Focus on one task at a time.

Help your student focus for one hour every week on Math class; she will succeed! Call now to schedule a private, one on one Math lesson at your own home. 713 412 4577

For 28 years, Mildred Norman walked tens of thousands of miles across the United States for peace, never using money and relying on the goodness of strangers for food and shelter. Born on this day in 1908, Norman -- who soon adopted the name "Peace Pilgrim" -- started her walk in 1953 as the Cold War intensified and the threat of nuclear war loomed large in the American psyche. The motto that she sewed on the back of her tunic when she started out, "Walking Coast to Coast for Peace," quickly became outdated. By 1964 she had already walked 25,000 miles -- crossing the U.S. on foot at least eight times. She eventually stopped counting but continued walking for nearly two decades more until her death in 1981.

The Peace Pilgrim vowed to "remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace," and as she became more well-known, she became a popular speaker at universities and churches. During one interview, when she was asked how she reached people who might view her as eccentric, she said, "Well, I'm quite sure that some of those who have just heard of me must think I'm completely off the beam. After all, I am doing something different. And pioneers have always been looked upon as being a bit strange. But, you see, I love people and I see the good in them."

Through her long pilgrimage, she worn the same blue pants and tunic daily, and carried everything she owned: a comb, toothbrush, pen, and map. When asked how she survived with so little, the Peace Pilgrim replied: "I own only what I wear and carry. I just walk until given shelter, fast until given food. I don't even ask; it's given without asking. I tell you, people are good. There's a spark of good in everybody."

Summertime and the living is not so easy
–Especially if you are the parent of a teenager.

The school year is finally winding down, finals are next week, parties, concerts, ceremonies are done
with and school activities are closing shop; welcome to the doldrums of summertime. Unfortunately,
you still have to work and vacation time is very limited compared to what the kids are going to enjoy, or
endure. Three days into summer and they will be all over the house, scratching the walls, complaining
about how boring everything is, watching the tube, texting into the wee hours of the night with friends
that are just as bored as they are, and
Well, simple and straightforward advice for you, the parent of the teenager. First of all, keep your
schedule simple. Make it a point to share family meals as much as possible.
Start the day with the family breakfast before you go to work; make adjustments to your own schedule
if you have to. This will help your teenage daughter to get up early in the day and share with you the
enthusiasm that morning brings. Try to come back home for lunch or meet with them at a local
restaurant if your work allows the flexibility. A snack midday can be a great way to catch up on the
afternoon plans your teenager has in mind. You have the opportunity to give her an extra ten dollars for
the popcorn at the movies and she will look forward to those short lunches. Finally, wrap up the day
with a delightful grill party for your daughter and friends; yes, encourage her to invite her friends over to
enjoy the pool, hot dogs and fun at your home.
Wrap the day with a short trip to the library to pick up a book you specially would love to share with her.
Reading a page or two to wind down is much better than watching the tv series or news. Ask her about
the day with her friends.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen Says Early Childhood Education Is Key to Ending Generational Cycle of Poverty

Research emphatically proves this to be the case; hopefully politicians will get it and fund Universal Early Childhood Education now!

Fed Chair Janet Yellen Says Early Childhood Education Is Key to Ending Generational Cycle of Poverty

Imagination is the secret.

Yukon High School held their annual Reality Check this week! During the event, freshman students are assigned a random annual income before traveling to booths like housing, clothing, insurance, and child care to make virtual payments from their budget.

Although they must visit every booth, they are empowered to make their own personal decisions. One ninth grader reflected, “I got $35,000 which I thought was really good, but now I’m down to $20 and still have bills...I may have gone a little crazy with the nice truck.” Once they’ve paid their bills, the students who have money leftover receive a KitKat, while those with $0 left in their bank account receive a Zero bar.

“This is an opportunity for the students to gain a deeper understanding of how their parents live on a day-to-day basis. It really puts things in perspective and gives them some real world experience and therefore, a better idea of what to expect in the future” said YHS teacher, Darryl Andrews.

To provide real insight, every booth is hosted by local volunteers from their correlating industries, i.e., auto salesman sell the cars, bank officials run the bank, child care providers discuss child care. The real estate agents working in the housing booth reflected, “We actually learn a lot from the students too! After volunteering for several years at this event, we’ve gotten to see firsthand how the students’ decision-making processes have changed over the years.”

Biodiversity intervention enhances immune regulation and health-associated commensal microbiota among daycare children

As we focus on the STEM curriculum we are leaving behind critical components to the development of our children. We need more outside lessons, play and activities for all of our children. this is one of the benefits, many more include social interaction -with proper CDC guidelines of course. https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/42/eaba2578

Nourished and Nurtured Life

TO PARENTS OF ELEMENTARY AGE KIDS: If online school or hybrid school or masks all day aren't working well, you really can let your kids take a year off this year. Really.

Finland, who is known for having one of the top educational systems in the world, does not even start school until age 7. And even then, it is play-based.

You can spend this year reading books aloud to your child (literature and culture), exploring nature together (science and PE), playing games together (math), and building strong loving relationships. Your kids can have plenty of time to play and enjoy their childhoods. They can learn life skills by working alongside you at cooking, cleaning, and gardening.

Instead of struggling to "keep up" and figure it all out, this could be a school year to remember in a sweet way, when you all lived and loved and laughed together.

They're not gonna fall "behind." There is no real due-date for learning, and everything academic will be learned with even less effort after another year of brain development and maturation has elapsed. It really is okay to let it go right now.

And so the future is bright and positive, returning to values, ethics, and morality.
