Holidays Without getaways and with the family: this has been the Holy Week of the Royal Family
Queen Letizia has shown over the years and her agenda that she is concerned about the
problems
that concern the youngest.
From nutrition to her training and education.
The wife of Felipe VI whenever she gets involved with a cause, she does it in depth, training and documenting herself before intervening.
Last Tuesday, Doña Letizia presided over the delivery of the SM Awards for
Children's and Youth Literature.
An act that the Queen likes, as she is usually up to date with the latest releases from publishers.
In this case, she also showed her concern for
the consumption of social networks by young people.
Doña Letizia gave a speech to close the event in which she stated: "When a group of middle-aged men and women get together to talk about adolescent habits, we always think about that eternal debate about
the benefits of reading."
In addition, the Queen was very informed about these benefits:
"We talk about what
neuroscience
has defined as
loss of cognitive patience,"
he said to defend the importance of reading books.
"Without going to extremes, there seems to be a consensus that
calm reading
allows life to be understood from a more analytical point of view," settled the Queen before showing her knowledge of the networks that adolescents manage.
Doña Letizia asked them to try to convince young people to leave a social network for a while to read: "For example, the one that has
a white ghost on a yellow background
and that sends ephemeral photos with amazing filters, do you know what it is, right?" the Queen said in reference to Snapchat.

But his words did not end there, the wife of Felipe VI closed his speech by referring to the biography that Arturo Pérez Reverte has
on Twitter.
He referred to it as "the phrase that the academic and writer Arturo Pérez Reverte has carved in marble in the profile of, precisely, a social network", without citing the network that Elon Musk just bought but showing that he knows what talking.
Will you have a hidden account in networks?
The concern of the Kings for the use of screens in young people is something that touches them closely, since they are
parents of two teenagers
.
In fact, last week they sent the Princess of Asturias to participate in cybersecurity training sessions.
In them, young people were able to understand how to use networks and mobile phones safely.
The Princess did not raise her hand when they asked which of them the first thing they did when they got up was look at the phone, nor when they asked how many did their homework with the phone next to them.
