Environmental care

Hi everybody!  The environmental is a topic that should interest to all persons, because the industries and our habits make damage to it. Unfortunately, our society does not think in the environmental issues, and the productions and a life more easily are more important than the environmental friendly practice.  But, on the other hand, there are people than is very aware with this topic and promote the good practice for the world; although they are very few persons and they cannot give the information to everyone and promote in all places, additionally, there are not policies than promote the environmental friendly practice. For these reasons, I do not know where we can learn about environmental care, maybe sometimes I have seen in TV, in the news I think, any related with environmental groups. I think that I need recycle more, but in our country do not exist the conditions for do it, because in the dump, all the trash are mixed. But, also I try to care the environmental, for this I do not leave trash in the street or public places; I try to keep lights switched off if I don’t use it.
I don’t like use bike, because the cars scare to me, although I use my legs very much, moreover we sold our car… so I just use my legs. But when I had a car, I didn’t use it much.
I believe that would be interesting participate in any eco-organization, but for now I don’t have leaven time for this activities. I think that a good way to reduce the carbon footprint is change the car than pollute for other car more careful with the environmental, do not keep the charger plugged and leave the batteries and cellular phones in the appropriate bin.

Santiago, with this bad way for environmental care, has missing things like a beautiful view from the hills, when I go to center of Santiago I always come back to home with headache and  the green areas are few for the contamination.

Summer

Hi everybody! In this opportunity I will refer to summer. The summer is a great time, except for one thing: the diets…  We, the women, think in the summer when start the spring, because it’s more hot and we don’t wear the sweater. So, is in that moment when start the problem, and I say me “Oh, no! Francisca, you have eaten like a pig in all the winter!” and for this, I propose me go to the gym and eat healthy food. But the summer has many good things, for example, I visit to my family and friends more times than in the others seasons of the year, because in the summer I’m on vacation ( and this is other good thing) and I have more time to my personal and social life. For the other hand, we go to the beach; it’s really relaxing be out Santiago, cause you can enjoy the landscape, swimming, know new places, spend time with family, etc. In the last summer, I visit Villarrica Lake with my boyfriend and our daughter. Is beautiful, but the most awesome happened one day that we decided start to drive to any place, and we came to a lake that doesn’t appeared in the map and I don’t remember its name, but is very near to Argentina. The water of this lake is the mast clear and with the most beautiful color that I could see in my life.

Summary: Irregular bedtimes and effects in the behaviors

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/oct/14/children-regular-bedtimes-behaviour
Hi! This time I refer about the news of the “The guardian”, the title is “Children with regular bedtimes less likely to misbehave”. The news refer that the University College of London (UCL) made a study about the bedtimes in child; for this, are studied more than 10.000 children. This study showed that child with irregular bedtimes are more likely to present behavioral problems, as hyperactivity, additionally, child present symptoms as the jet lag. The child with irregular bedtimes, were associated with others types of bad routines like see TV in the bedroom and for too hours, not eat breakfast or not read daily; and, in the journal Pediatrics, this article say that keep healthy routines is very hard to families with parents that work for a long time, so should have policies that care the routines of the child. Although this irregular routines are reversible, this was demonstrate for parents that change the hours of the bedtimes of their child, and they show a better behavior. Professor Ivonne Kelly of the UCL department of epidemiology and public health says that the regular bedtimes are important to healthy development, so a good routine is important to the future of the child. For the other hand, Professor Kelly says that if sleeping with a regular routine and property hours is favorable to the development, the interventions should focus on the education for families to teach good habits for their daily life.

My biggest love... Antonia


Hi Miss and partners! I will refer about the most important in my life… Is my daughter Antonia, I think in her all day and every day. She is two years old; although she ever says that she is a big girl and she is three years, even sometimes she says that is three years old, because she want grow very fast. She talks all the time, and if nobody ear her, she talks alone. Antonia is very self-sufficient, in fact, if she is hungry, she does not say me, she goes to the refrigerator, takes yoghurt, takes a spoon, goes to chair, open your yoghurt, eats it, throws it in the bin and leaves the spoon in the dishwasher. We love play together, and we read stories every night; we are really close.  She likes make-up, the potato chips (very much), the new clothes, plays with other child, draws, paints, dances, sings, and other things that I don’t remember now. Sometimes, Antonia angry because I use the computer for study or make home works, so do these things is difficult with her in home. She have positive qualities a lot, well, I’m her mom, so I should think this, but really she have positive qualities; first, she is too beautiful, second, she is intelligent, furthermore, she is a empathic person and she likes help to other people. Wherever, I might be talk about Antonia  all day, but I should control myself.
