Working memory is the mental reserve that people use to process information and figure out solutions during tests. |

Dear
friends,
Summer holidays are ending. Gradually children and parents have to adapt for going back to school. It is not an easy time. There are a lot of issues to consider, material, organizational and emotional.
We should not forget that returning back to school is an occasion for the parents to further cultivate the relations with their children. It is important to point out that going back to school is not only about material issues but as well psychological.
It is important for the parents to be involved and interested in what preoccupies their children of all ages. They should be ready to hear and understand their needs and concerns.
Inevitably, many children suffer from stress not only when starting the new school year but as well during various periods of it. Stress can be useful but when it is not adequately controlled, it can be detrimental.
Read more about the right way to handle stress for better results in all fields, in the article Back to school and stress: A change in perspective for success that you will find attached with our 103rd Progressive Insurance Newsletter.
We should not forget that parents can be as well very stressed because of the beginning of the new school year. Parents should be able to understand this and try to manage fruitfully the new challenges lying ahead.
The parents who are less stressed, more calm, less irritable and in a good mood can better help their children to maximize the benefits they can get from the school.
