A new school year begins and with it homework, study, exams ... Tasks that require concentration, attention, memory and motivation of the children.

Attention, memory, the ability to concentrate are very important skills when it comes to learning, because if there is no attention, we can not process the important stimuli and if we do not attend to what is important, learning becomes very difficult.
