Paediatrician

SOMOS INFANCIA

Our project was born from the difficulty of many families to be able to reconcile family life with working life, an innovative concept - adapted to the society of today where children and their families enjoy learning in many activities.

I am Carlos Loeda and I am a paediatrician in Alicante (Spain).

B.Aires University Medical School, 1973 graduate.
Undergraduate research assistant (Neurosciences laboratory).
Pediatric Resident at Children’s Hospital in Buenos Aires, with special focus in Intensive Care and Pediatric Nephrology. Certified Pediatrician 1977
From 1977 Staff Pediatrician at Hospital General de Alicante.
I created and managed several years the neurological and developmental follow-up program (for discharged patients).
From then, I had been in charge of the toddlers/preschoolers inpatient unit. (Pediatric Internal Medicine) in the same Hospital
In my private practice, committed to what I use to call “Family Pediatrics”.
My professional perspective is widened by diverse insights: alimentary behaviour (origins and evolution), scientific basis of parenting and upbringing, evolutionary medicine, neurobiology of psychological traits, developmental “styles”, evolution of autonomy and self-steem.

I recognize that I receive and learn from the exchange with “my” families and their children. Their struggles and achievements are my professional treasure, and I try to enrich it more each day.

I am pleased to participate on a regular basis in various projects related to “counselling”. Among others projects, I consider SOMOS INFANCIA a very interesting project promoting children and families’ activities.
