Each child has a "genius" in himself numb. The adult is responsible for guiding their activities and consequently its development and destiny.
Refer to "genius" is not taken into account IQ obtained from an intelligence test. It referred to a much broader sense.
The word "genius" means "power or faculty of creation," "person who has that power," between some meanings.
In ancient times it was believed that everyone had a "personal genius" or a "guardian spirit was given them at birth and who ruled his destiny"
Every child has the potential to deliver the potential of their creative lives.
There is still no standardized test that can prove the veracity of the above. But the proof of this lies before us in every child we see.
Just look for the child to notice the vitality they have when they are involved in any activity that is of interest.
Watching noticed his ingenuity and excitement, for example, to see him learn to speak, and discover the grammatical rules and so we have before us his "linguistic genius."
The child when he says "I sabotage" has discovered a grammatical rule of verbs ending in "er" knows ...
Running "I run"
Take "I have"
Running "I run"
To know "I sabotage", but Spanish is a language that has irregular verbs, that the child does not know and hence the error
The child creates drawings, songs, view and puts motor skills, expressing its "natural genius"
Education generally puts his interest in learning problems of children and less stress dealing with a minority represented by those children considered "gifted"
It is critical warning and develop natural abilities and who are responsible for waking up early these capabilities are the parents, early educators. So it is also necessary to train parents in the ability to detect what are the interests of their children.

Characteristics of the creative person or brilliant.
There are several studies that explore the personality characteristics of creative individuals in different fields.
There are characteristics common to all creative individuals and they are.
· Range of interests.
· Confidence in themselves.
• the intuition.
· Assessment of themselves as creative.
Creative individuals tend to perceive a conclusion or take an action, without having to go explicitly arguing each step of the process. Feeling himself as creators is a motivational element of their work.
In the great creative people or there is a regular configuration of features or features not present in non-creative, these traits are causally related to the fact that an individual is creative and, therefore, is a genius psychological characteristic or set of features, typical of a person, and can not be measured as if it were an IQ
Scientific geniuses and artistic genius.
Beyond the above characteristics is known that there are critical differences between creative people in science and creative in the artistic field.
A characteristic of scientific geniuses is its flexibility, this is a no need to submit to rules, such as greater openness to diverse experiences. This opening provides an increased sensitivity to scientific problems. Another feature is its ability to measure the importance of the various problems that make the investigation.
The science operator knows where to put their efforts into research and know what to perceive the points where it would be possible to achieve some progress. Can you describe a problem where nobody sees it, no wasted effort in problems unsolvable or too easy problems whose resolution is without significant effect.
The characteristics of scientific genius is not common to all scientific creators, and that will depend on the problem being considered, the scientific environment and the individual himself
The importance of the sensitivity of scientific thinking has been pointed out by Einstein when he said that true scientific development is to formulate the right questions initially, rather than providing answers.
The scientific genius knows when to quit and when best to take another approach to the problems being treated. It is a skill that pays dividends now or in the future and should be at disposal to experience.
The characteristic of artistic genius is given by its ability to induce in the other feelings or emotions through his own work.

The child begins to feel different very soon, do not feel comfortable with their age and while it feels good with older children, in most cases they feel isolated because they do not give you the opportunity to be with them .
Their behavior is characterized as intellectually brilliant and at the same time, voice, rebellious, hyperactive, funny and often uncontrollable.

What causes often begins to decline their school performance, not to feel superior and different.
Develop and grow with a good degree of self-esteem in an environment in which the child feels misunderstood in general is complicated, and therefore the emotional support, love and stability offered the adults around them is essential.

The bookworm be isolated socially, took refuge in his books, studies, computer science, or some "issue" special and curious where you can experience in their own world without having to face the outside world.
Will have its own intellectual bubble that will live, and the rest of the world does not come into it because its capacity is less and not even worth trying.

La autoestima y los niños





Self-esteem is an issue that wakes every day a great interest not only psychologists, as well as parents. It is a concern in many homes and conversations. And that is understandable by the relationship that is having self esteem problems such as depression, anorexia, self-awareness, drug abuse, and others. Some experts say that low self-esteem can lead a person to have these problems, while a good self-esteem can do with a person to have confidence in your abilities, do not be manipulated by others, more sensitive to the needs of others and among other things, that is prepared to defend its principles and values. Ideally, parents are not concerned only in maintaining good physical health to their children, but who would look more for their emotional health. Self-esteem is a cornerstone in building an effective childhood and adolescence.

What is self esteem?Self-esteem can be defined in various ways, but the context will remain the same. Self-esteem is a person's awareness of his own worth, the highest point of what we are and our responsibilities, with some good and some aspects for improvement and the rewarding feeling loved and accepted as we are by ourselves and our relationships. It is our real mirror, which teaches us how we are, what skills we have, through our experiences and expectations. It is the result of the relationship between child temperament and the environment in which it develops.
Self-esteem is a basic element in the personal training of children. That depends on learning development, good relations, activities, and why not say, in the construction of happiness. When a child gets a good self-esteem will feel competent, confident, and valuable. Understand that it is important to learn, and not feel diminished when you need help. Be responsible, will communicate freely, and relate to others in an appropriate manner. In contrast, children with low self-esteem will not trust their own abilities or those of others. Feel inferior in front of others, and therefore behave in a more timid, more critical, with little creativity, which in many cases it may lead to development of aggressive behavior, and away from their friends and relatives.
Self esteem is not a subject of a school curriculum. But it never should be a place ignored by parents and teachers. We must be attentive to the emotional side of children. During the period from birth to adolescence, vulnerability and flexibility, seeks to improve self-esteem in your child. All that is achieved in this period can seal their conduct and attitude towards life, in adulthood.

Babies have a number of primary reflexes at birth into use. One such is to turn you head when someone touches his cheek, because this reflex can find the mother's breast, but not see too well.
At first, the brain is in charge, ie the reflections are located there. As the nervous system develops, the reflections are going into the background. Are overlapped by other movements and new and conscious actions.
The crawling reflexA baby lying face down with legs bent, if you touch the sole of the foot, straightening the leg and push your body forward.
The reflection of pressureIf you put a finger on the palm of the baby, he closes his hand so hard that you can lift it without letting go. The newborn is capable of supporting its own weight suspended in the air for seconds.
Galant reflexHaving a baby lying face down, if you pass your finger on the kidneys, in parallel to the spine, the body of the arches slightly.
Moro reflexA newborn baby rests on the arms of an adult. If the adult is tilted about 30 degrees, the baby has the sensation of falling. The first thing you do is open our arms to the sides, so that parents can see you. Then come back to collect them and then clenches his fists to grip.
Walking reflexIf we keep the baby attached under the arms, and we posed on the cradle, as the foot touches the ground, the baby lift your foot, bend the knee and step forward.
Reflection of the escalatingIf you keep the baby caught under the arms, legs dangling and move toward the edge of a table until the instep of one foot touch, flex the knee and go up to the table.
This is a short summary of the primitive reflexes that babies and help us determine your perfect evolution. We strive to constant monitoring of all aspects of growth in the life of a baby, besides being useful, it is a satisfaction.





INCLUSION

Inclusion is a theoretical concept of pedagogy which refers to how the school should respond to diversity. It is a term that emerged in the 90's and intended to replace the integration, thus far the dominant educational practice. Its basic assumption is that we must modify the school system to respond to the needs of all students, instead of having students who must adapt to the system, joining him. The conscious and deliberate choice by the heterogeneity of the school is one of the main pillars of the inclusive approach.

Inclusive education is presented as a right of all children, not just those classified as special educational needs (SEN). Intends to reflect the differences in terms of normal (normal is that humans are different) and equity in access to quality education for all. Inclusive education not only postulates a right to be different as legitimate, but rather evaluates explicitly the existence of this diversity. It thus assumes that each person differs from another in a variety of ways and therefore individual differences should be seen as one of the many characteristics of individuals. Therefore, full inclusion would mean a commitment to a school that embraces diversity generally, without exception, or for reasons relating to discrimination between different types of needs, or for reasons relating to the possibilities offered by the school.

Since this position is critical, for its exclusive nature, models of integration based on the use of space and time apart to work with certain students with problems. In return they will promote educational and teaching practices that not only embrace diversity, but take advantage of it.

If heterogeneity is a value, the homogenization at school, which in turn occurs as a result of selective practices in educational systems, is viewed from this perspective as an impoverishment of the world of possible experiences offered to children, affecting both the best school "gifted"and those "less gifted "

The principles of inclusive schooling are ideologically linked to the goals of intercultural education.


Foundations of Inclusive Education

The recognition of education as a basic human right Education as a right for all and not a few, and as a principle essential to individual and social development that promotes peace, freedom and justice, as opposed to exclusion, discrimination, ignorance and war, among others.

Diversity as an educational value. Inclusive Education wants the school community and society in general appreciate the differences as a positive aspect and opportunity, and eliminate barriers that over time have created inequality, discrimination and exclusion.

School integration to inclusive education. The term inclusive education arises, in principle, as an alternative to integration and all the situations of exclusion experienced by students with special educational needs.
This new approach constitutes a claim, so that all students, with or without special educational needs in school receive regular, quality care.
