A sad story

Talking about  against children is to refer to a painful subject, is to speak of a scourge of humanity that - despite numerous efforts, goals and programs - could not be eradicated. A scourge even worse than the plagues and epidemics that after more than 5000 years of civilization and more than 2000 years of Christian era, is still here on earth, clinging and growing. A calamity caused and maintained solely by humans, which makes us doubt the validity of the word humanity.

The truth is that since the world began, children - and women - were the worst hit, as the concept of protected childhood is really very recent.

History shows us that childhood has always been enslaved and their rights violated or ignored, sometimes issues from physical activity, sport and recreation are seen as distant.

The list of conditions that were and still they are inflicted on children is endless, besides being cruel and rough, and how often passed close to us the possibility to help and we do not realize.

Until school entry, children chasing members of the family to read or told stories. The book is one of her favorite toys.At six he entered the school after a hard work finally learns to read. This is where the family must extend its fullest support. Reading in this stage is not pleasant for the child. Moreover, difficult, is wrong and not understand what he reads. So we insist that the family should continue to accompany the child shared reading of the topics that interest you, with storytelling and the promotion of oral expression.
This will be the best incentive to improve reading.
The school is responsible for teaching reading in order to use reading for learning. It is also the place where knowledge is imparted. Therefore, the child relates to the compulsory school reading. It is very difficult to carry compulsory acquisition of the habit of reading. Usually generates rejection requirement. At this time the reading has become a nuisance for the child and any attempt to reverse this situation will be vain. The child does not understand what you will in the future to read. Interested today, read something interesting, something to distract you, let him dream, imagine....
