Summary of the week from July 18 to 24 in Peques and More

Summer always invites new activities with children, to try new and refreshing dishes in the kitchen and to explore natural landscapes with the family. The summer season also inevitably brings to mind some of the best memories of our childhood, sometimes we would like our children to live those experiences in part, right?

We will remember this July as one of the hottest and driest, and we will also remember it by the unpopular measures adopted by the Government, by the way do you know what the impact of the increase in VAT may be? But we want to give a fun touch to children's vacations and that is why we focus our interest in this aspect, although we also tell you many things about health, food, reading, leisure, etc.

If you still do not know us here we are, we are the blog for families with children from five to 12 years. Marcos told us a few days ago that the traditional tales are kept in many places in Spain, so I recommend you take your children if you have any nearby, because it is a very nice way of bring children to oral narration and a simple activity that allows you to share and enjoy intensely. Speaking of stories and readers or listeners, I also want to give you the recommendations of the Germán Sánchez Ruipérez Foundation

We know that many of you have on the beach your holiday destination, and therefore I would like to share this article on how to protect ourselves from jellyfish, and how to act in case of bites. Speaking of travel we have also echoed a special on 'vacation with children' that has come to us from the Diario del Viajero.

It is sad to know that Not all children can enjoy their free time, and many others are subjected to trafficking.: We learned from Calle 13 that in Latin America and the Caribbean 550,000 children are victims of this abhorrent practice. And from a situation that turns many children into a totally unprotected population, we turn to the solidarity of the Caritas delegation in Albacete, from where 'Families with a heart' are sought to help other family groups at risk of exclusion due to the crisis. We do not know if the origin of the low birth rate is economic conditions, the lack of a real conciliation, or other reasons, but the fact is that during 2011, fewer births occurred.

And I want to present our last posts of the Special Infant Feeding: it is about Mexican food recipes, and our guidelines to prevent eating disorders. Good nutrition is health, but health offers other topics of interest to parents: such as summer otitis or the protection of children's eyesight from the intensity of the sun.

I still have to tell you that It is available for Apple devices 'Where is my Perry', and that Cut de Rope has already become stuffed.
