| Often, a very important factor in the welfare of a child is overlooked...the welfare of the parents. If you are concerned that your own energy levels or processing abilities are suffering, maybe this is a good time to get back to some basics. For adults physiological factors such as sleep, diet, exercise, and stress can start to have a deteriorating effect on processing and therefore problem solving abilities. At this point there is a spiraling effect: the more the problems go unsolved, the greater the stress, the less the sleep, the more the processing slips. As you start the new year, do your child a favor and pay some attention to your own well being. Eat healthy. Increase your exercise. Make sure you get enough sleep. Then consider getting into the habit of working on your own processing abilities. The easiest way to work on your processing is through our software, Simply Smarter. It is amazing how you can turn that spiral back around to work for you rather than against you. |
