What better place to be a mother? An alternative preschool
Today I leave you an interesting article from Save the Children. Further information available at the http://www.savethechildren.es
03/05/2011. Norway, Australia and Iceland are the best places in the world to be a mother, according to the twelfth report on the World of Mothers we present today. The report discusses the best and worst places to be a mother in terms of factors related to educational status, economic, and political health of mothers, as well as the basic welfare of their children. Eight of the ten leading countries in the ranking are in Europe, while eight of the ten worst countries to be mother are in sub-Saharan Africa.
Afghanistan is the latest in a list of 164 countries surveyed, where two of every five children are malnourished and one in five dies before its fifth birthday. Afghan women have on average less than five years of schooling and life expectancy is 45 years. In Norway, 1 in every 333 children dies before age five and women who have a life expectancy of 83 years, usually ending 18 years of schooling.
Spain occupies the twelfth place, one place above with respect to last year, down from France and Germany over the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Spain has a high female life expectancy - 84 years similar to Italy and Switzerland and is only surpassed by France and Japan and a mortality rate of children under five years of 4 per 1,000.
Regarding political participation, Spain has 34% of seats held by women - 3 points less than last year. Women earn 0.52 cents for every dollar earned by men and our country is still below other European countries in terms of duration of maternity leave to 16 weeks, lower than countries like Britain and Denmark with 52 weeks or Italy with 20.
If we focus on the welfare of children, Sweden is placed Somalia first and last a list of 168 countries. While virtually all Swedish children enjoy good health and education, in Somalia one of every six dies before their fifth birthday. Spain is also dealing in the twelfth place ranking, down from over Slovenia and Portugal.
"Most of the deaths of children and their mothers could be avoided by extending the coverage of basic health services and the number of local health workers. It is necessary for citizens to lobby their governments to increase funding for health mother and child in developing countries, "said Yolanda Roman, Head of Advocacy. "It is imperative that world leaders keep their commitments to achieve the Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 relating to maternal and child health and the developing countries to support local health workers and invest in their training," Roman added.
Country Comparison:
• In Afghanistan there are only qualified medical personnel present in 14% of all births, while in Norway, almost all births are such assistance.
• Life expectancy for women in Afghanistan is 45 years, while Japan is 87.
• In Afghanistan, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Yemen, women earn 25 cents or less for every dollar earned by men. In Mozambique is 90 cents on the dollar.
• In Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Solomon Islands women do not hold or a seat in parliament, while in Rwanda more than half are women.
• In Somalia only 1% of women use birth control while in Norway the percentage is 82%.
• In Somalia women are less than two years of education while in Australia or New Zealand the average years of education women receive is 20.
The importance of investing in maternal and child health-
This twelfth report on the World of Mothers, we have assembled some of the major academic and political voices, and Bingu wa Mutharika, President of Malawi, the healthcare and research, and Carlos Gonzalez and Clara Menéndez, and the world of literature and the arts, like Soledad Puértolas or Jennifer Garner, to call attention to the need for governments to continue investing in health programs mother and child, as well as the importance of practices such as breastfeeding.
"Breastfeeding is saving every year six million lives and could save at least a million more if it became widespread breastfeeding until at least two years [...] Breastfeeding is one of the sacrifices we make to prolong life, but one of the reasons why we want to live. It is not a means to an end, but an end in itself, "said Carlos Gonzalez, a pediatrician and founder of the SAPTA in his essay on Breastfeeding set out in the report.
The report identifies those countries that have lagged behind in the fight to save lives of mothers and children. Also shows that solutions exist under Cost of efectivas and that I can face even in the countries most economically poor of the world.

Chinese Train Groping
Following article yesterday that explained a situation that saw the EB in my town came to me after the news program that will spend today Gran Angular La2 TVE.
is a reporatge on what is called free schools where parents are involved (more than usual) in projete educational school.
The problem with these projects is that there are few and almost all of Barcelona and if you want to create a need to find who done it (as I start one!).
Well, as all things are good and less good things.

Necklaces For Sweetheart Neckline
Open
Now is the time when nurseries are open, namely, that parents can go to visit the school to know it, know what to do, as they do and how much expense. In our house, long since we clearly do not want to take our daughter to nursery school but the other day that there were day visit to meet the EB of our people there wanted to go. I am not clear why, maybe find something that made me change my mind and wanted to gossip if I could take ideas ... the question is to go there.
classes I found small, very small (and I recognized educator) groups were 20 children with two teachers (but when the teacher told me the times, there were times when there was only one) I watch the draft (well, I noted that of 38 sites, 23 were of personnel management, organization, schedules ... and the rest were 3 proposals for activities within the section annex), ... Looking
me "project" more closely I saw that one of the main activities and cross-school work was of emotions. Wow! Interesting! I started reading and one of the proposals was that every day in the class would get a circle and pass the mascot of the classroom and he would kiss or a hug. What?! And it is more interesting than making a companion of the circle, for example?
So far, however, not expecting anything much different, nor do they change the weight balance.
The final point was today when three teachers (two teachers and deduce an assistant) are out for a stroll with the kids (were painted to be P1) to a field next to my house or aufals herbs (do not know) up to half a meter and poppies. I guess the purpose of picking flowers and enjoying a bit of nature. Good idea. The problem is that since children have entered the field the tears have not stopped (clearly not surprise me because they came herbotes neck!). And when a child could not go (he wanted, according to teachers) to move and could not stop crying.
I have become very nervous. They were 15 minutes (not exaggerating because I calculated) of a child a year and a half (as much) crying in the middle of a field with some ladies (sorry I can not say in edcadores this case) telling them to go to about 3, 5, 10 feet gradually (as if that motivates him to go there) until there was a time that saw neither! (The typical technique of whether to leave hateful or rather, the quit- come). Finally when I already was going to go out, take the child, put me in the neck, hugging him hard and tell: - small, quiet, we're off the field. I let him go to the lady: - excuse me, I do not see that this child does not want to be here?, Then the lady has been brought back to small (without entering the camp, lest you feel like you took get the child to the neck and remove it!) and he said: "bird come! and small (while crying in no time) finished out getting a: - Very Good! We could see how!?.
Please! I do not know that this child has learned or that they wanted to learn his "educator," I do know is that Our daughter did not learn anything that way!
