Contra la crisis, besos y abrazos. Es la solución que los más pequeños proponen a sus padres para hacer frente a la actual realidad económica que afecta al país.

Se trata de un remedio que, en apariencia, da sus frutos. Así lo reconoce Juan Seguí, padre de dos hijos: "Un abrazo, unos besos y estar en familia sí que es verdad que te hacen sentir más relajado, más tranquilo y más contento".

"Esto significa que para ellos es algo que está ocurriendo en el entorno y que es muy, muy importante", aclara Francisco Rodríguez, director de la Unidad de Neuropsicología del Instituto EOS.
