We see professional athletes paid astronomi cal salaries and find the broadcast airways filled with almost endless coverage of all types of sporting events. All that visibility has an effect. While for many kids it certainly builds interest in partici pating, it also can make some parents feel it’s vitally important that they push their child to participate and stand out in sports. Playing a sport when a child has an interest and when it’s part of a balanced life can provide many benefits, but when it’s parents driving a child to not just participate but to excel in order to meet the parent’s expecta tions, it can often have a harmful result. Sports, of course, require physical activity and not just more video game controller time. Being active is a positive thing for every child, but this doesn’t mean every child has to be a base ball, soccer or volleyball star. As parents we want to encourage our chil dren to try new things. What matters is how PRE-K BREAKFAST MENU Monday, May 13 Sausage Biscuit, Fruit, Milk Tuesday, May 14 Cereal, Toast, Fruit, Milk Wednesday, May 15 Manager’s Choice Thursday, May 16 Manager’s Choice Friday, May 17 Manager’s Choice LEE COUNTY PRIMARY KINCHAFOONEE PRIMARY BREAKFAST MENU Monday, May 13 Sausage Biscuit, Fruit, Milk Tuesday, May 14 Cereal, Toast, Fruit, Milk Wednesday, May 15 Manager’s Choice Thursday, May 16 Manager’s Choice Friday, May 17 Manager’s Choice that “encouragement” takes place. If a parent introduces a child to a new sports activity in a gentle, positive way, and tries to be supportive and helpful in teaching the fundamentals and building confidence, it can be a good means of opening up a new, enjoyable interest for the child. But if a child is literal ly forced or shamed into participating, and the child’s objections and fears about the activity are ignored, that child is not a willing participant. He or she may be more harmed by their anxiety and stress than helped by the physical activity being gained, especially when a parent criticizes or teases about sub-par performances. When a sport is a poor fit for a child you’ll find him or her skipping practices, faking ill nesses and complaining endlessly about having to participate. That’s a time to listen to your child. Pushing a child into a sport where he or she doesn’t have the ability or interest to participate satisfactorily is actu ally a means of eroding the child’s self-esteem and confidence. What you want is a healthy participation where the child is playing well and meeting normal expecta tions. The child doesn’t have to be the star. The main goals should be exercise, learning new skills, building confi dence, learning to play with others and, most importantly, having a good time.

Dear Dave, My husband and I are debt-free, and we have an emergency fund of six months of expenses saved. We’d like to buy a home in the $250,000 to $275,000 price range in the near future, and we plan on saving $60,000 for a down payment. It should take a little less than two years to save that much money. When should we begin the search for a good real estate agent and start the underwrit ing process? Sarah Dear Sarah, I’m really proud of you two. You’re being very intentional and goal- oriented about getting control of your finances and the home buying process. I’d advise starting a conversation with a quality mortgage company when you’re about five or six months away from your savings goal date. There’s “pre approval,” but there’s also something called “certified.” That’s a step beyond pre-approved, and it basically puts you in a position to make an offer when you’re ready for the purchase. So, getting certified as a buyer is very helpful. After that, sit down and talk with a few agents. Interview them, and decide on someone you like and trust. Find an experienced agent you’re comfortable with to guide you through the real estate world, and then start outlining your search and buying strategy. What I would not do is jump from agent to agent. There’s a tremendous benefit in finding someone you trust and feel good about. I’m talk ing about a buyer’s agent who’s going to Ramsey fight for you. This means someone who will show you several different properties, keep your wants and needs foremost in their mind, and help you get the best possible buy on your new home! —Dave (A home shouldn’t leave you house poor) Dear Dave, My husband and I were listening to your radio show the other day. In it, you were speaking to a lady about buying a home. When you talk about mort gage payments being 25 percent or less of your take-home pay, does this figure include taxes and insurance or just princi pal and interest?
