In the latest issue of Time, scientists have concluded that Mom's ability to soothe or pacify a situation can be powerful whether it is a hug that you receive in person, or over the phone.
The study which was conducted by Leslie Seltzer, a biological anthropologist, has suggested that the impact of this social bonding to either "friend or befriend" has a considerable impact on how individuals deal with stressful situations. Rather than reacting on impulse, these interactions that individuals may have with their mothers can help them diminish their stress homones or cortisol, by touching or talking.
As I read through this article, it reminded me of when I needed to make "cold calls" to hundreds of clients as a means to make new business. Prior to calling these individuals on the "cold call list", I would phone my mother who would be the voice of unconditional love and support on the phone. After hanging up, I knew that any task could be accomplished no matter how arduous or monumental. Until now, I follow the same philosophy and still call my mom when confronted with an uneasy situation.

The Results Are In!
Hello!
As the summer approaches, schools will be mailing back CRCT scores and report card grades. I am pleased to say that many of my students who prepared for the CRCT with me did fairly well. Several students even scored at a level three with all of the practice pages and workbooks that we used in the last few months. I am so pleased with the efforts of all of my students and look forward to working with them soon.
