Please help me check my translation (English-Spanish) about "Las Ataduras"?

I have translated this and would like to know if it is grammatically and verbally correct.

If anyone is a native Spanish speaker it would be EXTREMELY appreciated if you could help me correct my translation. Thank you!



English: During her childhood, Adelaida was always ready to learn and teach others. She taught Eloy how to read in her first years of school. Also she loved nature and was not afraid of anything, not even the bugs. In this first stage of her life, her character consisted of a girl that was very curious of the natural world, and mature in her studies.

Tambi茅n, Alina le encantaba la naturaleza, y no ten铆a miedo de nada, ni siquiera los bichos.

I will write it again in spanish, so you can compare with your own translation:

COMMENT:

In some Spanish speaking countries the word for "bug" is insecto (insect).



The Spanish word "b-i-c-h-o" in the Caribbean (Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, etc.)

means a VERY VULGAR word for the word penis; it is highly OFFENSIVE.



It is imperative we know the population we are addressing, this is where for example, colloquialisms, regionalisms, etc. come into play. A professional translator will ask who is the audience, what country will be reading this paper, book, etc.
