Back to school -- it means the end of summer for kids. No more staying up late, sleeping in, slum-ber parties and swimming pools. Most kids wish summer would never end. Most adults do too!
Some children, however, worry about the return of school for other reasons. According to the Anxiety Association of America “anxiety-based school refusal affects 2 to 5 percent of school-age children. It commonly takes place between the ages of five and six and between ten and eleven, and at times of transi-tion, such as entering middle and high school.” Fear of the unknown, anxiety regarding change in routine, stress of new academic demands and concerns about social or emo-tional issues can rise to the sur-face and depending on how they manifest in the supportive environ-ment of a child, these concerns may cross the line between normal adjustment concerns to anxiety that needs intervention.
How a child handles these adjust-ments may depend on their temper-ament, ability to adjust, previous experiences in school and open-ness to new experiences. Creating a safe and comforting environment to handle these concerns is funda-mentally a parent’s job.
So what can a parent do? Have a ConversationTalk with your child about their
school experiences and expecta-tions. Review the positive memo-ries and stories from past years. Remember past concerns and how they were solved. Pay attention to anything that appears to be wor-rying your child and address their concerns or fears legitimately not by just telling them “everything will be ok.”
Make AdjustmentsPay attention and determine your
child’s temperaments and adjust to suit their needs. For example, if your child is going to school for the first time and tends to be fearful of new situations, plan a tour of the school building. Practice the routine and discuss in detail what he may anticipate. Assure your child he will be safe and remind him regularly about the after school pick up routine.
Assist the TransitionLook ahead to any challeng-
es and anticipate transitions. For example, older children often are challenged with getting back in the swing of things particularly when it comes to academia. Pay attention to what your child may need to make the transition easier. Does he need to start changing his sleep sched-ule? Does he need to review reading or math if he hasn’t kept academi-cally active? Do you need to discuss social situations and solutions that were difficult last year?
Take Care of YourselfMost importantly get your paren-
tal routine, structure and mental preparedness in check. A calm par-
ent often means a calm child. Make sure your routines are in place from daycare to work schedules. Tap into your own emotions regard-ing your child returning to school and avoid passing these on to your child.
Taking time to speak with and listen to your child about going back to school can assist enor-mously in overcoming most normal worries children face. It will also make for a smooth transition and open channels of communication throughout the school year.
School should be an exciting education and growth opportunity. Take care of yourself so you can take care of your child. Listen, com-municate and make adjustments. Most importantly, encourage your child to have fun!

Denver, CO—Do you suffer from Numbness and Tingling down the arms or legs? Most numbness/tingling sufferers have no idea what to do when they experience these symptoms. Although there are many causes
of numbness/tingling one of the main reasons is damage to the joints, ligaments, and discs in the neck or low back. Damage may have occurred as a result of an injury or could have developed slowly over time. In addition to pain, damaged spinal joints and discs (cushion between the bones) will place pressure on the nerves that go down the arms, hand, fingers, and even the upper back. This ‘pressure’ is the cause of numbness/tingling. See Figure 1. When left untreated, pain and weakness in the mus-cles may be the eventual result. Generally, most people suf-
fering with these symp-toms will resort to medica-tion use. When the problem is in the neck or lower back, using over-the-counter, and even prescribed drugs to fix the cause of the problem is not the answer for many. And, if medication fails, surgery might be considered the only other alternative. Dr. Alison Milbauer wants to let you know that there is another way.If you have heard about Spinal Decompression and would like
more infomration, please call today for a complimentary consulta-tion to see if you are a candidate. Here a Cynergy Center we offer the most Affordable and Effective form of Spinal Decompression. Call today!

If you can identify where this home is located and its architectural style, your name will be entered into a drawing for a free dinner at North Denver's new favorite restaurant, Tocabe.

Thanks to everyone who identified the combination of Queen Anne and Denver Square located at 3349 Decatur Street from the August issue. Sandy Thompson was drawn from the readers who correctly identified this jewel. A fun fact about this house is that the Fish's built a greenhouse from Albert's Steel Company at some point during the war and utilized the garden area for a Victory Garden to support the war efforts. The Landmark committee had wanted it removed, but after the explanation, they ruled that the greenhouse, though not original to the structure was also historic in nature. So it remains today. To read about a detailed history of the house at 2711 West 37th Avenue, see page 12. Special thanks to Sandy Thompson for providing this history.

Our fondness for Volvos seems to grow with each new model we drive. Elegant, comfortable, versa-tile, reliable and safe are all words describing the 2009 XC70 and the way it could fit into your life.
We were trying it out recently when a brash storm pitched camp in Colorado and we were quite impressed with the way the Volvo’s all wheel drive, utilizing something they call Instant Traction, lived up to its name. The XC70 started and stopped on the slick, slippery roads like there was nothing to it. We wound our way through numerous large trucks and SUVs who couldn’t seem to climb hills or stay in their
lane. Inside the Volvo it was warm and comfy – the usual stress of driving in inclement weather and rush hour traffic just melted away.
We also got a chance to test the wagon’s 72.1 cubic feet of cargo space by hauling a few small pieces of furniture to storage. The rear seat folds nearly flat and have a 40/20/40 split allowing multiple configurations of the space. Handy tether hooks and anchor points abound to secure whatever freight your hauling.
For such a large roomy car, the XC is easy to drive, corners well and has power to spare. The 3.2-liter inline 6-cylinder engine develops 235 horsepower allowing the vehi-cle to accelerate rapidly whenever conditions call for it. The engine, coupled to a six-speed Geartronic transmission, produces 236 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,200 rpm. That extra power comes with a premium how-
ever, as the XC gets only15-mpg in town and 23-mpg on the highway, but that’s better than many of the large SUVs in a car that’s even safer.
A wide array of sensor technol-ogy is available as optional equip-ment on the XC70 including adap-tive cruise control, blind spot indi-cators and lane departure warning. Those same sensors are used for Collision Warning and Auto Brake which flashes a red light in mid-air in front of the steering wheel, emits a audible alert and charges the brakes in anticipation of panic braking. Frequently straying from your traffic lane will bring up a Driver Alert Warning suggesting
you really need to take a break from driving.
We’ve all been there –tired and at the wheel– telling yourself you can make it a bit father or it’s only a little way to go. When the car tells you to take a break maybe its pick-ing up on something you’re missing in your haggard state.
Those systems are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Volvo’s safety. Crumple zones in the body, a collapsible steering wheel and the most advanced airbag system available give you the best chance of emerging unhurt from a collision and in the worst case help to mini-mize injury.
Driving the 2009 XC70 evokes a feeling of comfortable, secure serenity – one that’s worth every penny of the $37,250 base price and then some.
Happy Motoring!***
