Earthquakes at Home... *If you have school-age children, this topic may be of interest to you. Before I continue, I would like to ask you a series of questions:* *Have you noticed any difficulties with your child's learning at home? Has the classroom teacher said anything to you about it? How have you noticed your child's learning at school? Is your child happy and cheerful when he/she goes to school? Does your child have difficulty completing homework or chores at home? Do…
Releasing Emotions in Read.Cash Hello dear readers, I have few publications due to the short time I have been here at read.cash, but those of you who have followed me may have noticed that I write about topics related to my profession as an educational psychologist. Thinking that by exposing professional topics, I somehow guide people who identify with what I write. I rarely deal with personal issues. This week I dedicated it to reading and commenting, because I had…
What if my dog could talk? This story is a love story, it begins four years ago, at the end of May 2017. I remember back then we were living in confinement here at home for a few days, not because the health crisis started. Necessarily we had to protect our physical integrity. There were confrontations against the community by government agencies, from Venezuela. Near my home, they burned tires and placed barricades so that the supposed security agencies could not get to…
Adopted with Love... My name is Valentina. I was adopted when I was very young and I don't remember my biological parents anymore. I have lived with my adoptive mother all my life. And in the last few months, my brother and his family have also been with us: wife and two children. Even at my age, I am still my mother's spoiled brat. She knows more about me than anyone else, and we have a special connection, to the point that she understands me just by looking at my eyes. My…
Invisible Friend. Hello reader friends, a few days ago I read my sister @gertu13's post about friendship, and It's very interesting what she refers there. I recommend it if you haven't read it yet. At the end of my story, I will put the link for you to read it. I am going to tell you about a very dear friend that I never got to see. 12 years ago when I was checking my Facebook, I saw the name, without a photo, of a person very dear to me. We had done a specialization in…
If things don't look right, go left. Hello reader friend. I don't know why today I remembered my mother, when as a child she told me that the left hand was not good for anything, not even to clean the.. (here she mentioned a certain part of the body, which I will not say). That's how it was at that time, the criterion of right-handed people, they saw everything straight. If you lived your childhood in the 60s, 70s, you will understand me. And even more so if you are…
Swimming among sharks. Friends, I have little time in this part of the ocean, I'm just starting to swim around here. I'm not like Nemo, I'm more like Dory (for those who have seen the famous Pixar animated movie). Dory, Not because I have a short-term memory, but because of my optimistic, cheerful character and how restless I am. When I think of something I don't know well, I get restless. And I start swimming back and forth. It's like going from one reef to another.…
To Be a Good Citizen You Don't Need Talent. Hello reader friend, a few days ago there was an incident in the neighborhood where my house is located. Here we are approximately 400 families, we could be more because there are 600 houses, but many families have left the country, leaving their homes alone, looking for a better quality of life for their families. Well, as I said before, there was a problem with the hydraulic pump that supplies water to the whole neighborhood. It…
The Young Man with Asperger Syndrome Hello friend reader, in life it doesn't matter what profession you have, what career you graduated from college, or if you have any specialization in any area. Or if you work for a company. When at the end of the month you do not have the budget to buy the basic necessities, you always have to look for alternatives to solve the economic crisis, regardless of the country where you live, it is always like that. We cannot stand idly by while…

My Beautiful Barinas ***My Beautiful Barinas, the beautiful things I'll always remember.*** Hello reader friends. In the last few days, I have been nostalgic for the city of my childhood and adult life. I have been nostalgic to see my siblings, nephews and especially my youngest son, who is 32 years old, and my two grandchildren. I miss the eastern beaches. From my house, I could see the sea, hear the waves at night, smell the characteristic aroma of the sea. How I miss…
The Spoiled Child. Hello reader friend, I recently took my 6-year-old granddaughter to a playground near my house. She took one of those brightly colored balls with her. There in the park, several children were playing. They are all neighbors of the same street where we live. There was also Isabel, a 5-year-old girl, she and my granddaughter have played on other occasions. But we always have problems because of Isabel's tantrums. In the park, everyone wanted to play with my…
Home School Activities, who does them? I remember many years ago, when a co-worker of mine in the mental retardation area used to give homework to a child with Down Syndrome. She didn't like doing that part of her job, saying it was a waste of time. Every day she would give homework and the next day, when she checked the notebook, the homework had not been done by the child but by someone else. That's why she said it was a waste of time. Now in confinement time, the same…
Happiness in a bowl of soup The pabellon criollo is the traditional Venezuelan dish. Very tasty, the dish has black beans, shredded meat, white rice and fried plantain slices. But today I don't want to eat pabellon criollo, today I want a delicious and nutritious soup. Soup is my favorite dish. In Venezuela soup can also be called sancocho, and if the main ingredient is fish or chicken it is called *hervido* (boiled). Soup in Venezuela has many versions in its recipe. It can…
The Meaning of Pursuing Happiness In the previous article that I shared with you, I referred that for me eating a delicious soup is happiness. After writing that article I thought about what it means to be happy, there are people who always have a smile on their face, are they happy, then I thought, happiness can be searched, how do I get it? The first thing to know is that we can get to feel happy by doing daily routines, we can do them to stimulate the chemicals in our…
I got vaccinated, finally! All my friends, most of my neighbors, and even my son had received the text message notifying them of the place and day to go for the vaccine against the virus. In a way, I was waiting for that message. Because I wanted to get out of that health commitment I had with myself and the people around me. A very important health commitment for me. I received the message last week, so from that day on I started to plan how to go to the place where I was…
The Aroma of Coffee Awakens the Senses. Son, we don't have any coffee for tomorrow!... that sentence rings in my son's ears as if it were the worst news a mother could give her son. He puts both hands on his head and says: "It can't be! and rushes off to the grocery store near the house to buy coffee. Does this scene sound familiar to you?, does the same thing happen in your house? In the mornings, every day whoever gets up first prepares the coffee. And we have a play on…
Traveling with a light suitcase. We have reached the end of the month, tomorrow is the last day of August. Thankful to God for having health above all things. To be here in read.cash sharing with new friends, I am infinitely grateful to my dear sponsors and to the people who follow me. To all of you thank you very much for your company. Time goes by so fast that I am surprised. These days I have been reading articles about Christmas. I am surprised that in some countries as…
Watching the dog I was home alone and a little bored. It was a normal Saturday, like any other day. I got up early and had already tasted my first coffee. I didn't feel like having breakfast alone, but I made myself something nice anyway. As soon as I finished breakfast, there was a knock on my door. I looked out the window and saw that it was my neighbor Pedro. Strange, so early in the morning, was all I thought when I opened the door. My neighbor and I have a lot of trust…
