few days I've been crazy, trying to keep the planning and meet all my obligations and I can assure you it is not easy. For two days I get up at four in the morning and depending on time of day, I am a human or a zombie. Ander
overcame his gastroenteritis and began with a mild flu-like process, basically a lot of mucus that obviously he passed to his sister. But thanks to the discovery of "Paroterin" we stop this crisis the best, the beauty of this syrup is that taste like and do not get nervous.
Otherwise we move forward in our solar system project, the children decided they wanted know the planet earth and the European continent, where we live. Among
plan how to do it, any time is valid to organize, in the car on the way or returning from school, during the bath, in bed before falling asleep ... etc.
Our project is called: "What we love Europe", decided to be pirates in search of treasure. The treasures are things that we really like. As good pirates had a map.
Children Ander to help, wrote in a cardboard treasures that were of diverse cultures: Chocolate, pudding, cake, spaghetti, pizza, park, peace, coins, school, bike, train .... etc.
All shifts would look for treasures and each child will paint the country where the treasure.
begin with the first treasure: "Chocolate", we read together a lot of information and in the end we are left with some things to capture on paper:
1) The chocolate came from America to Spain thanks to the explorations of Christopher Columbus
2) The Belgian chocolate is the best
3) The mayor of district in Zurich after a trip to Belgium takes the chocolate to your country. In Switzerland they prefer milk
4) In Germany there is a restaurant where all meals are prepared with chocolate.
5) In the Netherlands for 2015 is planned to open a theme park chocolate.
Each of these countries the painted brown (chocolate) and wrote the country name. The next day we touch the pudding.
http://losplanetasdemaeyander.blogspot.com/ These games are encouraging Anderson to speak, every day uses more words and want to communicate through language. Yesterday we told her class teacher who is nervous because every time you speak and be heard. Besides Anderson does not want help, now it is he who asks others to let him do it alone.
Yesterday was a special day again went to a private dermatologist, a specialist of renown. I really liked because it invested so much time in explaining the problem of Ander alopecia. Basically, it's an autoimmune problem, Ander probably due to the traumatic process was the adoption, I think defenses in this system and identify the hair as something alien to your body, so devoted to destroy its follicles and hair falls. I told her that her hair always fell at the same time and that the child had a scaly skin, but that is just dry. Autoimmune processes have a period to work out the average of around four years (Ander leads to the problem two), you usually end up surrendering the body and lets his hair grow again, all we have to do is give treatments so that the follicles do not die. We also explained that there are treatments that would solve the problem quickly but have their risks as cortisone by mouth that could prevent growth. We left happy, now we know what to expect and that your problem is not stress, or anemia, or genetic ....
was clear that the problem of Ander had nothing to do with us, we always knew that the adoption process was mishandled. I'm heavy with the professionalism of the people but in this case more so. I can understand that during the pre-adoption not give us any information about the "biological parents" but we had a right to know their past, their personal circumstances. It is not logical that one is at the charge of your file before the shoe shop and a mother overwhelmed tell you that "the child is not well, we've turned yellow, her hair fell, vomited everything he ate and cried all the time, that the situation was tough and we stretched a lot in time "and his response was:" a child who has gone very wrong, even in a previous trial was living with a family and turned to leave because the extended family did not accept. " I still remember my frightened face, "how could you tell me this before?, We carry the child to day care and there will not stop mourn until he gets the coat."
did not know how to comfort and made too many mistakes and my child who neither spoke nor understood, nor nothing, found the only possible solution developed autoimmune enfemedad.
I think we were right to be informed to look and how to best help our son. My son is a champion in the end even though we have accepted our mistakes and I know loves us.
Moving on, today I spent a wonderful thing that encourages me to go my way. In the afternoon I called by phone to invite children to a birthday invitation surprised me because it was a mine that had long focused not seen. This person came to me in difficult circumstances, a divorced mother with a young daughter and uneducated. When I started working with her, I was surprised que en España una chica de 35 años estuviera poco más que sin escolarizar, que el último año que cursó fue 2º de EGB y que era considerada como una persona con problemas de atención, dislexia y alguna cosa más.
Durante un año me empeñé en que estudiará, ella tenía mucho complejo de inferioridad y se consideraba una inultil, además no tenía nivel. Pero poco a poco, creamos un material propio, hicimos ejercicios....
Y cuando me llamó para invitar a los niños al cumpleaños de su hija aprovechó para contarme que estaba ya al final de la ESO y que solo había suspendido las matemáticas que el resto lo aprobara todo. Pero lo mejor de todo fue que me preguntó What could I continue studying?.
you can not even imagine my joy because what it means, this girl was a person rejected by the system but certainly competent and adequate support and giving confianda: COULD.,
