The observation that mater semper certa est remains accurate under most legal systems in the world. Maternity is defined as the personal status (filiation) of a woman who gave birth to a child. It is typically complemented by the fatherhood of the man from whom the child biologically originates (often quem nuptiae demonstrant).

Usually with a woman coming from poorer societies and with the assistance of professional intermediaries and organizers. The postulates to change substantive f...
La escuela infantil se ha convertido en un observatorio privilegiado desde el que analizar la evolución de la sociedad occidental. El profesorado de educación infantil se mueve, a veces, en un terreno de incertidumbres que le obliga a superar ideas estereotipadas para buscar sentido a situaciones familiares poco comunes y adecuar a ellas la dinámica pedagógica cotidiana. Este libro quiere ser una herramienta para que los equipos educativos fomenten la reflexión y la búsqueda de recursos. En los diferentes capítulos se abordan algunas de las situaciones que se manifiestan en la escuela aunque no tengan un origen genuinamente escolar. Se trata de temas novedosos, resultado de cambios sociales que afectan a la familia, a la escuela, a los educadores y educadoras y, finalmente, a la infancia. Además del acercamiento a estos temas, el libro incluye propuestas para encauzar las distintas situaciones y ayudar a definir cuál podría ser la intervención educativa más adecuada.
