I am an organized chaos. I am a restless ass you want to try everything around me. I throw myself head and then I think about it (maybe it should be the other way around).
I am a very emotional person and If something is passionate about 1000%. I am very committed to childhood and create a safe and respected space.

Presenter and creator of the podcast Put on your height where I give importance to education and topics to take into account.
What motivated you to become a professor of Early Childhood Education and how has your career been so far?
The need to Break with authoritarian and negative education who had received as a student. My career is an exciting trip in which every day is a new adventure without knowing.
As a child teacher, what do you think is the most important thing to connect with children in the classroom? How do you make them feel comfortable and motivated?
Play, play and play. In my case in Infantil I approach them in the same way that they relate to the same, Through the game. I am also very clear with The limits and consequences. They know we can play and mock everything they want but there are limits to be fulfilled, and When is the time for everything.
In your social networks you share a wide variety of educational resources. What kind of materials do you offer and how do they support the educational community?
I try to share my day to day, whether activities or my concerns. At some point as teachers, you present these situations, I only show what I do In case someone can help, or if anyone has a better way to do it to mine and can help me.
You are the author of No I want to go to school, a story that addresses a topic very close to the reality of many children. How did the idea of writing it arise and what do you expect to convey with him?
Well that was an issue that the same publisher proposed to me, my thought was Turn tales on adaptation and that it was a girl who wants to go to school who begins to doubt for all the messages around her.
Many times adults We transmit fears and insecurities Without realizing it, and my idea was to capture them to think about them and keep them present.
The end is totally open, it never shows what that first day is, why? Because each of us live on the first day in different ways, and did not want to condition or reflect a first day that you may not live. In the end you create frustrations for that, why my first day has not been like that story?
You podcast Put on your height He addresses key issues about childhood and education. What inspired you to create it and how do you choose the issues you deal with in each episode?
Education has to be more present, it is a cuddle And little about her is spoken. With this podcast I want to open a window to professionals with topics that are little talked about and Allow that speaker. Little by little he listens more and I hope he gets very far. It is a project that I am taking a lot of love and is something totally new to me. Hopefully and he listens to everyone that each of the guests that comes. It is serving me to Improve my teaching practice and think more certain things I do and have normalized.
Finally, if you had the opportunity to implement a concrete change in the current education system, what would it be and why do you think it would be beneficial for students?
Less ratios or more professional by classroom. The reason is clear. It is always said that learning is individualized, ha !! It is a huge lie. It is impossible to address each of our students in the right way, having the mass classes for a single teacher. The system forgets that we are also people and that Our energy and time have a limit.
