Queen of Disaster

Background: Contextualize in 2018, Chilean people have problems to control their emotions, because studies suggest that society do not have knowledge in emotional education, people are still thinking emotions like an insignificant thing. But the not controlling of their emotions, the ignorance about how to express them because is looked down upon socially, this it could mean a real problem in future. That is the reason why I am going to talk about the emotional regulation in childhood. Problem: Every day the importance of technology is increasing, that is why people are losing the capacity to socialize with other people out of computer or smartphone. And the problem that we can see is how people do not know how to express themselves, how to talk with other person; even families are getting broken sometimes because of that. But, technologies it could be one of the reasons why people do not prefer talk about their problems or emotions with other person, and prefer write on...

My name is Romanett Alcaíno. I am an undergraduate student, cursing the second year of the career of preschool education at University of Chile, Santiago. In a first moment, I just choose this career because I have good connection with children, but in that moment, I do not know how much important it was be an educator.   As a student of the social sciences faculty, I am close to other careers related to preschool education; there we have anthropology, sociology, psychology and social work. But the area that I recently have become more interested is in childhood psychology, because there we are learning about the self-regulation emotions, how a person can recognize an emotion (happiness, rage, fear, etc.)   And can control it. Someday, I would like to have a grant to do a semester abroad, maybe in Iceland, because there they have a different form to educate. School is not like in Chile that is why I want to understand to my own how they educate children. I do not hav...

Hi Stephanie, thanks for your email. I’m going to tell you about Laura. She is 19 years old, and she is studying nursery education with me. She is a very responsible girl; she is always reading new texts about the subjects we are studying, and I really admire her because of that, actually, I do not have time to read all of the texts that teacher send us, and she always is looking for more texts. She has a really good level of English, so you could talk with her without problem. About her family, she lives with her two parents, and she has an older brother, but he doesn’t live with them, because he got marry last January. Laura is very reserved, she doesn’t like talk with other person, she prefer lives in her own world and listening to music, or read a book in her free time. I mean, she is not a noisy person. But, the only negative thing I think she has, and I will be absolutely honest with you, she has bad-temper, sometimes I don’t know how to stay close to her when she is ang...

Hello, everybody, welcome back to my blog, this will be the last post of this semester, so today I’m going to write about all my experience writing blogs. I usually write random things that I’m thinking in English, or I listening to music in English, I watch videos in YouTube just in English and I have some foreign friends and sometimes I talk with them to video call or just we text each other, and that’s how I try to improve my written English skills, because I love languages, and then I want to learn Korean language. People say that is a little bit difficult but is a challenge for me, and I like challenges. So that’s why is not a problem for me to write blogs in English, actually I like it, even if I know that my English is not the best. Is important for me to read comments of my posts, so I read all your comments you left because I can know that my English is not bad at all and you can understand what I want to say. I think my writing now is better, I hope so, because I ...

Hello everybody, welcome back to my blog, today I’m going to write about changes I would like to do to my study program. As you know, I’m at second year of nursery education, and we have to study five years, but even that I think the study program is incomplete. The first subject I will talk about is “Health and cares of the child”, because I think is a really interesting and relevant subject. We are trained in basic first aids, but, we just have this subject in the first year of the career, so I think we forget some first aid technique. So, the change I would do is having in the study program another subject just to learn about first aid. I think this subject has a lot of contents and time it wasn’t enough, so I want to learn the contents we didn’t learn, nutrition, gender conception, etc. Another subject I think it has problems is “Families and communities”, because we know that families are important in the development of children, but we don’t know how to develop a goo...

Hello, everybody, welcome back to my blog, today I’m going to write about a subject I have enjoyed a lot this semester and my favorite until now, it called: Teaching knowledge of personal and social development, 1° Cycle This subject is about to understand the development of the children, that they have different process of learning and how we have to respect every process trying not to limited them, because it could be bad in their self-esteem. The self-esteem is another important content of the subject because we will help to child to build their self-esteem, making them a confidence person who loves themselves no matter what, and it could be relevant how they relate with other person being a child or in the future being an adult. What I want to say is the self-esteem is for all rest of life and to build a positive one we have to work with family the words and the way how we relate with the child. Another relevant content is the importance of the attachment in the first cycle...

Hello everybody, welcome back to my blog, today I’m going to write about an expert on my field that I really admire and inspires me, her name is Maria Montessori. She was born on 31 August, 1870 in Italy. In those times, Italy had conservative values about genre roles, but even that Montessori when she was growing up, discovered she has aptitude for mathematics, and then her love for the sciences, specifically, biology. So knowing that, time after she became the first female doctor in Italy. Maria Montessori is famous for her “early childhood education research”, she based her methodology on Biological/ psychological, religion and pedagogical elements. The Montessori methodology has their own curriculum that is divided into five keys areas of learning: Practical life, sensorial, language, mathematics and culture, also creating learning materials (activities and toys) based on these five keys areas of learning, like the “Pink tower”, is one of her famous sensorial materi...
