/> After a new <a
href="http://www.drivingkids.com/map-and-locations/shop.html" target="_blank">shop</a> on Shopping Street was opened, kids were faced with the complicated issue of budget planning. How many auros should I earn to buy these awesome jeans? Will the change be enough to buy a nice T-shirt? How many times should I play these children’s games to update my whole wardrobe? To improve kids’ counting talents, the Driving Kids team has launched this new educational Flash game for kids.<br
/> Where there’s money, there are rivals too. So to play this online kids game, it’s necessary to find a rival &#8212; or two or three of them.</p><p

/> 2.  Check the racing car of your color;<br
/> 3.  Check the current task: you need to add numbers together (the sum is shown in the upper left corner of the screen). To be more precise, you need to complete a sum with the missing number;<br
/> 4.  Look at the racing ground: there are some chalked numbers;<br
/> 5.  Think of which number must replace “?” for the sum to be correct;<br
/> 6.  Find the number needed on the ground;<br
/> 7.  Put your hands on the arrow keys on your keyboard;<br
/> 8.  Push the left, right, up or down arrows to drive your racing car;<br
/> 9.  Drive to the number (avoid crashing into other numbers, that will be counted as a wrong answer!);<br

id="more-1419"></span>Stress and burnout, as shown by the researchers’ results, are usually shared between mother and daughter and between father and son.</p><p>So if you begin to notice that your child has symptoms of school burnout — “<em>a chronic school-related stress syndrome that is manifested in fatigue, experiences of cynicism about school and a sense of inadequacy as a studen</em>t” — look at your own situation first. Truly, our kids are our own best and fairest mirror.</p><p>What can be useful for getting over this difficulty, from the point of view of Driving Kids? First of all, talk to your child! Just chat with him or her, share your own troubles, listen to your child’s feelings and try to remember the last time you were so close to each other. And then try to do something together — anything from washing dishes to playing chess.</p><p>Or just maybe you’re now ready to appreciate Driving Kids’ <a
