Recently, studies show that kids are stressed out when they come home from school and have loads of homework. Between after school sports, activities, and family time, students are finding less and less time to complete homework. Every parent wants to see their child succeed when it comes to school, so why not help your child out? As long as you aren’t giving too much assistance, helping with homework can be a good thing. Set up a homework time every night with your child, provide support, and monitor his or her work. It’s important that your child knows they can count on you they are stuck.

Last night at the Verage County Little League Field, a big debate took place: Was it a good choice to give each team player a trophy on every team? Mig Ruane said, “Yes. My son came to every practice, played in every game, and cheered on every teammate. He deserved the trophy he got.” When interviewed, Brett DeMao stated, “No. I think we are sending the wrong message to our children by saying they get a trophy….just for showing up. I’d rather my kid work harder next season and feel what it is like to earn a trophy.” There you have it folks…what’s your opinion?

Expensive. Obesity. Addictive.Three words that show that video games can be bad for you. Sometimes video games can cost $40-$50 a piece! That’s a lot of money when you think of how many video games you own. Video games can be addicting, leaving little time to spend with family and friends…and little time to go outside and get some exercise. Which leads to obesity. If people are choosing to stay indoors to play video games, they are not getting outdoors and participating in outside activities. We must put an end to the amount of time spent on gaming!
