The Your Self Center – section School – is a school and training center located in the heart of Varese, which boasts an important decades-long tradition of scholastic support for children of all levels.
Organizes according to the eighth grade exams exam support and training courses for children, to support them effectively with preparation.
“The final moment of middle school represents a very important passage in the life of a young boy and marks the subsequent entry to high school, a challenging moment, which will determine a progressive and gradual movement towards the adult world.
Completing the path with presence and determination can be very important to then get to high school with the right attitude and a mature, effective and positive propensity”, explains the Dr. Maria Rosaria Infante, psychologist and psychotherapist responsible for the Centre.
The test and the related preparation for the eighth grade exam should not be underestimated and in many cases it is the first great evolutionary challenge and relational issues that young people find themselves facing.
Preparing for exams with determination and commitment can be very important for children to strengthen their positive perception and become more self-confident. Furthermore, passing exams effectively represents an important challenge for the young person in relation to their problem solving, i.e. the ability to resolve problems and face situations with respect to difficulties, leveraging an internal compass capable of supporting anxiety and fear.
“L’self-esteem in fact it is a fundamental variable in the growth and development of children and must be nurtured through concrete actions and the positive overcoming of the challenges that arise along the way. Therefore, successfully passing exams is not just a question of grade, but of the attitude with which the tests were carried out and the overall result in terms of growth that follows through the self-image through facing the tests” explains the Head Dr. Infante psychologist and psychotherapist.
“Very often, in fact, fears, panic, difficulties in managing stress during adulthood are the result of difficulties in approach that have already manifested themselves during childhood and adolescence and with respect to which the young person has not developed a method of approach and resolution with respect to emotional management, whereby the tendency to avoid rather than face difficulties develops. This can result in moments of discouragement, feelings of impotence and fragility, even in the presence of excellent potential, which if properly used and valorised could favor, in cascade, a series of positive trends capable of mutually reinforcing each other, promoting the well-being of the child. and then of the young adult, thus fueling the internalization of a positive internal model” explains Dr. Infante.
Therefore compared to eighth grade exams, arriving at the final tests well prepared can be an important and useful opportunity for growth and self-realization.
