If the most important qualities were those intelligence tests are able to evaluate, our civilization would never have developed as it has. " Ken Robinson
The emerging industrial revolution educational systems subject children to endless examinations where mathematics and language predominate over other materials.
Many of the things that our fathers told us no longer apply. The model "studies, get a job and climb within the company" is obsolete. In addition, this model happiness of individuals does not matter at all. So my message today is this: let the children play Let me explain why. Our society has changed greatly in the last fifty years. The economic model is being transformed from a production-industrial paradigm to a model based on business services, information, and knowledge. Therefore, it stands to reason that the qualities required of individuals in the future also change.
Originated in the industrial revolution education systems, they have capitalized teaching to this day. Its main purpose: to prepare people to enter the productive sector. They are characterized, therefore, by several things, although we seem obvious, it might not be so: to separate children by age, according to his facility with mathematics and language, strictly distinguish between "science" and "letters" (giving more value to the first) and very important: pressure on young people to decide as soon as possible, where they want to direct their professional future and the educational-industrial system born from the need to prepare workers.qualified so they could work in factories and conduct mechanical work. The system also assumed, therefore, the need for standardization and gave a high value on repetition and memorization of data. In other words, what mattered (and still important) are the results, the productive potential of the individual. Needs and potential "hidden" from students spend in the educational production system into the background.Consequence: many children are bored in class, they get frustrated, they feel excluded. However, according to some studies, non-curricular talents (creativity, intuition, flexibility, spontaneity, empathy, intercultural skills or organizational capacity) will be much more important in the future. The reasons: the aforementioned change of business model but also career models (linear and before long - now changing and multitasking).
Scientists: intuition, passion, and curiosity
Edwards O. Wilson, a professor at Harvard University biology professor and winner of two Pulitzer prizes, note: "I've met a lot of students who did not dare to venture into scientific careers for fear of mathematics. But, after all, in the vast majority of scientific disciplines, passion and intuition are more important than math. " In his book Letters to a young scientist, Wilson is even more explicit: "Many scientists worldwide are successful, from a mathematical point of view, little more than semi-literate". And it gives perhaps the key: first, passion, then preparation and in some cases, the preparation is given the wrong way.
So how should educate children?
The productive-industrial model raised this in response to another question: what would you be more (doctor, mechanic, plumber)?Therefore, the proposed model "to study, work, produce".
It is possible that the educational model of the future, as career models will be very different (non-linear, multiple jobs, multitasking), as well as the (creativity, empathy, communication) skills needed, try to answer other questions: What do you like to do, they make you feel good (writing, traveling, compose, analyze, order)?
All this may sound very abstract when thinking about an educational model, so let me give an example of what I try to explain: the other day I was talking with the director of a science museum. His main concern was to ensure that the museum would appeal not only to adults but also to children. In the end, he concluded that the best museum would be one that would allow children to play and run freely ultimately play.
And it is that seeing every day my five-year-old daughter play, invent, communicate, associate with others, find creative solutions, ask questions, I am convinced now of something my mother told me many years ago: let the kids play. What a beautiful idea: maybe one of the keys of the future of education is to give the children a little more air time to learn to play and being more themselves, and probably happier. This may be achieved, as some argue, relying on e-learning or more practical and less theoretical care classes.
The end of the school year is approaching, and all parents and children are with the right forces and looking forward to the holidays. But this is no time for slacking off, we are in the final stretch and many students have a big stake, as tests remain to be done, deliver jobs and a lot to learn. Following these guidelines to secure this end of the course will be more bearable for everyone:
- Brand objectives to be met, no time to study. What the child sees that if the goal is to learn a lesson, when already know it, you will have free time to play. People, including children, function better working by objectives that time.
- Goals should be realistic and tailored to the potential and development of the child. For example, if the child takes bad mathematics throughout the course, we can not expect that in June kick outstanding. Thus only not feel able to achieve the goal.
- The idea is to work from the intrinsic or internal motivation, ie do things because I want to, because it makes me feel good. However, when children are young, many times this type of motivation has not yet been developed, and we have to work from the extrinsic or external motivation, that is, do things to get something we want, for example, see a time television, playing a few minutes to the tablet, play something that you feel like a lot ... will be crucial that the child knows the rewards that you will have to study. For example, playing a few minutes on the computer ...
- Once the child has served its purpose of study or work, we can ask what is it like, if you are happy for having done it. In this way we will think about how when we fulfill our obligations we feel good because this is the best booster medium and long term.
- Do not forget that the main source of a child's learning is modeling, ie children copy their adult reference they are mainly parents. Therefore, it is important that parents, despite the fatigue, the heat, and warm weather, to remain, model, of effort and perseverance in the child.
3-6 years is an exciting age in this evolutionary period is characterized by children achieve different developments:
- They are able to spend more quiet time.
- They can be strung, remove buttons, zippers open, handle books, using pencil, scissors, comb, toothbrush ...
- Build their self-concept, are recognized as people from the rest.
- You can do small jobs and need to feel important to the people around them.
- They move from an egocentric thinking (meet immediate needs) to understand different views to theirs.
It is also important to remember that from 2-6/7 years are for symbolic play, whereby situations, personal and real objects that are not present at that time are represented develops: play kitchenettes if mom or dad to make pretend play doctor ... That will be the star at this stage.
At this age, to play is as important as taking care of children who have the right environment. Before present the games that we bring you today, we want to give you some tips to help you play:
- Providing spaces to play.
- Have toys at your fingertips, sorted / classified.
- Select toys with care: age, security, non-violent or sexist, to stimulate their imagination, simple and unsophisticated.
- They have time to play.
- They go home to play with other children and invite friends to yours.
- When you, Mom or Dad, play with them, get carried away by your imagination, if you always try to guide and create an educational activity, you lose interest.
GAMES TO DO WITH CHILDREN FROM 3 TO 6 YEARS:
- A road home: With tape, we will make a road on the floor, with curves and passing under a chair or stool. Along with sheets, dice, or small light objects, a traditional race will veneers.
- Mysterious corner: a large carton cutting and decorating with paint you can create a fun hideout. Another option is to perform a cache between chairs, pillows, sheets, towels ...
- We play to be doctors: Look for old clothes or dress shirts for all different professions. Then we can represent them.
- Concert at home: Together we can do different instruments, household things, like a drum with a can and bucket, macaroni or rice in a pot, plates in a plate ... We may also collect toy instruments or truth we have and among all we give a concert.
- The disjointed words: Select 5 words that have nothing to do with each other and the other will create a little story that has all the words. We will be changing shifts, we can involve more family members.
- Bottle game: Fill water bottles half-liter to about half (depending on the space we have if we see that the ball comes with great force, the fill more), we place as a bowling and play with a tennis ball or the like in turns. Depending on whether the children are closer to six years, we can make a small home competition.

Acne is a
common skin disease. Though it is a matter of worry but can be cured also.
What is acne?
Acne
is medically known as Acne Vulgarism. It is not so dangerous, but it is
our life’s most annoying skin curse .It arises during puberty,
period of human development during which physical growth and maturation occurs.
It arises on the face, chest, and back of a person. About 85% of people
develop acne at some time between the ages of 12-25 years. It is also found in
some newborns.
Causes of acne
No one is
completely sure about the causes of acne. But experts believe that it arises
because of the blockage on follicles. Our skin has tiny holes connected to
the oil glands situated under the skin. The glands are connected to
the pores through follicles. Sebum, an oily liquid, produced from the
glands carries dead skin cells through the follicles to the surface of the
skin. Sometimes the follicles get blocked because of excessive sebum or
too many dead skin cells or something on the surface. Bacteria also join them and
the result is acne.
Types of acne
There are different
types of acnes. Some of these acnes can be really painful and can persist
for a long time off period. If we know about the different types of acnes
then it will help us to get relief from them correctly. These are as
follows:
· Whiteheads
- occur on oily skin and remain under the skin and are very small.
· Blackheads
–occur not necessarily because of dirt. It is clearly visible. These are
black and appear on the surface of the skin.
· Papules
– these are visible on the surface of the skin. These are small
and pink.
· Pustules
–these are clearly visible on the surface of the skin. They are red at
their base and have pus at the top.
· Nodules
- clearly visible on the surface of the skin. They are large, solid
pimples. They are painful and are rooted deeply into the skin.
· Cysts
- clearly visible on the surface of the skin. They are painful, and are
filled with pus. Cysts can easily cause scars.
Ways to get relief from acne
There are many simple
but effective ways which can help to get relief of acnes and to get a
healthy and lovely skin.
Honey:
Honey can do a
miracle job for removing acnes. It can be used in many ways.One of them
is- to apply some honey over your pimples. Allow it to dry on its
own for nearly an hour. Then rinse it off with normal water. Hope it
will work….
Ice:
Ice is also useful in the treatment of acne. We
have to take an ice cube and wrap it up in a soft and clean piece of
cloth. Now, it will have to apply all over the acnes and leave for
few minutes. It will give faster relief and a soothing effect.
Papaya:
Papaya helps to remove dead skin cells and extra
oil from the skin. It has an enzyme called Papain which reduces inflammation
and prevents us from forming. Way to use it: Firstly we have
to rinse the face with water and pat dry. Then mash a papaya to a consistency
so that it can be easily applied to the skin. Then leave it for 15-20
minutes and then wash it off.
Aloe Vera:
Aloe Vera gel can be
used directly on the acnes. It has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory
properties and helps to reduce redness and skin irritation.
Banana peels:
Bananas peels are good
for skin and also effective in treating acne. The peel has a very powerful
antioxidant that helps to reduce inflammation and allows healthy cell growth.
Firstly we have to Peel the banana then need to rub the peel on the face
in a circular motion to get relief from the redness and discomfort caused by
acne. We have to keep it for 30 minutes and then wash it off.
Cautions:
Not to touch the skin:
We need to refrain ourselves from touching our
faces. We need to keep your hands clean, wash them regularly. It is also
necessary before applying lotions, creams or makeup.
Wash the face:
We need to wash our face to prevent acnes.It is
one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent acnes. We need to do it
twice daily - once in the morning, and once at the end of our day. We should
use a clean washcloth, warm water and a mild soap or cleanser. This simple way will
be effective at ridding our skin of dust, dirt, dead skin cells and bacteria.
We also are careful to keep our hair clean and away from our face. Because,
hair collects sebum on skin.
Some regular exercise:
Half-an-hour's exercise, three to four
times a week, though any amount is better than none, will help to change the
appearance of the skin.
Loose garments:
Our skin needs to
breathe. If acne is on back, shoulders or chest then we should try to wear
loose clothing. Tight garments should be avoided .If we have to wear them then
make sure that they are cleaned regularly.
Not to sleep with makeup:
We should not go to
sleep with makeup on. We should use only the makeup that is nonacnegenic
– we should be able to read this on the label. If we cannot find it,
we should ask the shopkeeper or pharmacist.
Not to use too many treatments:
We should not use
too many acne treatments at once. Instead, we should use single products at a
time
Should have patience:
We have to try to have
patience. It might seem like the acne appeared overnight, but most treatments
won't disappear overnight.
Be aware:
We have to practice
smart marketing awareness of natural ingredients. We will have to be
cautious of ingredients that are marketed as "natural," home
remedies, or are trademarked. Natural does not equate to safe skin treatment.
We should use ingredients scientifically proven to treat skin.
What is anemia?
Anemia is a disease that occurs when the red blood cells become
less than their normal number, or if the amount of hemoglobin in the blood
decreases. This disease leads to a lack of oxygen in the body's organs. It
also leads to various medical consequences. Anemia can be easily treated
by intake of a healthy diet. Although there are other types of anemia,
which are serious and can be treated easily and can also cause a threat to the
life of an individual.
What causes anemia?
Iron deficiency is considered the main cause of anemia, which
can be rectified by having a diet rich in iron. Various other reasons,
which are held responsible as a cause of anemia are: Certain clinical effects, such as bleeding of the bowel, crohn's disease and
celiac disease, pregnancy, heavy menstrual periods, thalassemia, leukemia, bone
marrow problems, kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hormonal disorders, poor
diet, surgery, injury or accident.
Signs and symptoms of anemia :
The most common symptom
of anemia is fatigue and weakness. If
a person is anemic, he / she may find it difficult to engage in activities that
require physical endurance, even under normal tasks. Other signs and symptoms to recognize
anemia are:
Shortness of breath, chest pain, cold hands and feet, pale and dull skin, dizziness, headache, lethargy, palpitations, altered taste, ringing in the ears, or tinnitus, sore gums and throat, brittle nails, low blood pressure, memory loss and depression.

Some home remedies for anemia:
Beet and apple juice for anemia
The apples are rich in iron as well as many
components beneficial for health. On
the other hand, the beet contains folic acid as well as fiber and potassium. This most nutrient rich part is just
under the bark. So if you plan to
have beets, you can simply roast in the stove with the bark. After it is cooked, peel them. You should have 1 cup of apple juice,
1 cup of beet juice, 1-2 tbsp of honey.

The spinach for anemia
Just a half cup of
spinach a day is what you need to treat anemia. This vegetable is rich in vitamins A, B9, E and C, iron, fiber, calcium and beta-carotene. Just half a cup of cooked spinach contains 3.2 mg of iron which
is about 20% of daily iron needs! So
include spinach in your daily diet. However,
never forget to boil the spinach, although for a minute because spinach also
contain oxalic acid, which interferes with the absorption of iron by the body. Boil the leaves can reduce the oxalic
acid levels.
Tomatoes for anemia
Having more iron is not
enough. You should be able to
absorb iron. For this, you can
eat tomatoes for best results. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and
lycopene. Vitamin C is needed to
absorb iron.
The pomegranate for anemia
The pomegranate can be
called a super fruit because it
contains too many beneficial elements. It
contains protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber and sugars. More importantly, it contains iron and
calcium. It is rich in minerals such as potassium and copper. The pomegranate increases hemoglobin in the blood and supports
healthy blood flow. You will feel
less exhausted, you will have less dizziness, weakness that is typical symptoms

The Persil for anemia
Besides various other
beneficial components, the parsley is rich in iron and folic acid. 100 g of parsley contains 5.5 mg of
iron which means that a half cup of fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon of the dried
herb can meet 10% of the daily requirement of iron your body! Not only that, its vitamin C content
helps your body absorb iron.
Dates a cure for anemia
Delicious palm fruits,
dates, are a rich source of iron. 100
grams of dates contain 0.90 mg of iron. Therefore,
this is a good remedy for anemia, because it increases the hemoglobin in your
blood. Dates are also rich in
minerals such as calcium, manganese, copper and magnesium. Copper is particularly necessary for
the production of red blood cells. So
having dates daily can treat your anemia.
Eat liver against anemia
Iron we get from animals
is called heme iron. Our body
absorbs this dietary iron better than non-heme iron we get herbal food. Organ meat such as liver is an iron
ore concentrate which is the most important nutrient that your body needs when
suffering from anemia. Offal is
much richer in nutrients than muscle meats. The
liver can provide between 16 and 85 percent of the iron daily intake depending
on what you eat as liver. Chicken
liver is one of the best sources of iron. Raw
chicken liver contains 9 mg of iron as beef liver contains about 5 mg of iron. The liver is also a very good source
of B vitamins, especially B12 and copper, phosphorus and zinc. However, it is also important to eat
the offal of these animals are raised in fresh pastures and are not treated
with hormones, antibiotics, and commercial foods. So if you eat non-vegetarian food, you
must include the liver to increase the iron content in the blood and get rid of
anemia. However, if you survive a
vegetarian diet, there are many more options like legumes.
Whole grains, legumes, nuts
against anemia
As you know by now, your
body can get the dietary iron from two sources namely animal and plant-based
foods. Heme iron is found in
animals, especially red meat, fish and poultry. Non-heme iron can be found in animals
as well as plant-based food. Vegetarian
sources of non-heme iron include vegetables, grains, lentils and beans. Whole grains, legumes and nuts are
good vegetarian sources of iron and folic acid. However, you need to have a balanced
vegetarian diet if you intend to get your iron from food herbal because heme
iron you get from animals can be well absorbed by your body, without relying on
other dietary factors. The
absorption of non-heme iron, however, depends on other foods you eat. So take a balanced diet and also avoid
some other foods. Here are some
tips for you.
What you should do if vegetarian diet against anemia
-Eat Legumes such as
beans, lima beans, peas, chickpeas and pinto beans are all good sources of
iron.
-Have Nuts such as peanuts, almonds and walnuts. A half cup of walnuts can give 3.75 mg of iron.
-Eating Legumes and whole grains.
-Take lots of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and organic acids, so the non-iron heme is better absorbed by the body.
-Do not take tea, coffee, cocoa and meals rich in polyphenols which inhibit the absorption of non-heme iron by the body.

Treatment of anemia by plants:
Sorrel kinky (curly dock): One of the most widely recommended for anemia is the root of
sorrel curly plants. It is a weed
roadside. But it turned out to be
effective in raising the level of iron. Many
people with anemia have surprised their doctors when they reported that their
good results come from this single plant. Some
were able to increase their hemoglobin levels in a few weeks with curly sorrel,
but then we must stop using the plant. Elle is available as a tincture and
capsules; but the best way to use
it is dying because it better absorbed than when shooting in a capsule. This plant can cause diarrhea if the
dose is too high.
Nettle: Another useful herb in the treatment of anemia, some sources
suggest that nettle should not be
used during pregnancy; it is often combined with leaves of red raspberry and
oat straw. The addition of anise
seed appears to improve results.
Dandelion and root burdock are often used in herbal combinations
to treat anemia. They work by
increasing the body's ability to absorb iron from food.
Alfalfa: is a plant that is very nourishing. It is often included in herbal
combinations for blood.
Dong Quai: Chinese herb helps in the treatment of anemia due to its
high content of vitamin B12. This
is a blood tonic and digestive stimulant.
Among the plants rich in
iron and folic acid, found blueberries, codonopsis, amla, gugul and cilantro
(leaves). Angelica china is rich
in vitamin B12 and folic acid, increases the production of red blood cells.
To
improve the absorption of iron, there is burdock, verbena, hawthorn, large
gentian, hops. Drink before meals
hot fresh ginger tea helps the body absorb iron. The Ginseng Siberian increases
resistance and strength.
Make sure your diet is rich in iron, folic acid, protein and vitamins E and B12.
Remember, the health of your gut is crucial to ensure the nutrient absorption.
