Third interview in Spanish, Sandra Dodd

Most of the exchange this time was between Yvonne Laborda and myself.

Yvonne wrote on her blog:

He vuelto a tener el gran placer de estar con Sandra Dodd. Esta vez ha hablado de cosas muy intimas y personales. El tema de esta semana da para mucho más. No obstante, se han dicho y preguntado cosas muy interesantes y útiles. Me he quedado con ganas de decir más cositas con referencia a la conexión o perdida de conexión con nuestros hijos... Precisamente el modulo 2 del Mastermind de continuación que estoy haciendo junto con María José habla sobre este tema en profundidad. Ya tengo tema para otro artículo. Es que la influencia de nuestra infancia en cómo nos relacionamos con los demás es mi "especialidad". Espero disfrutéis con este hangout.

There are two others, of this same hangout/program, one from December 2013 and one from April 2014:

Hijos con diferentes edades

Commentary below by Yvonne Laborda, from her blog here: http://welivelearning.blogspot.com/2014/06/homeschooling-hijos-con-diferentes.html

En este interesante vídeo, Irlanda, una madre de 6 hijos educados en casa nos explica cómo se las arregla para poder satisfacer las necesidades de todos.

También aprovecho para compartir el taller de ALTERNATIVAS A LOS CASTIGOS, PREMIOS Y AMENAZAS que voy a hacer junto con María José Cifuentes. Clicando en el vídeo podéis verlo. Será el viernes 20 y 27 de junio de 7pm a 8.30pm hora de España. Ya he hecho varios de estos talleres y charlas vivenciales pero esta vez al ver la necesidad de varias familias he pensado en hacer este por Hangout para poder llegar a más personas. El coste es de 37 dolares y constara de dos sesiones vivenciales vía hangout y unos vídeos que daremos entre las dos semanas. Al final habrá un PDF.

Espero sea de vuestro interés. Nos vemos el día 20, un saludo.
