NJ SPORTS FITNESS & WELLNESS ATHLETES OF THE MONTH – JANUARY 2013

Nick Suriano Bergen Catholic Freshman Wrestling

Cindy Oh & Anna Parzecki Northern Highlands Seniors Girls Fencing

By Jessica Quas Northern Highlands’ team victory in the prestigious Santelli Girls Fencing Tournament contested at Voorhees High School in Glen Gardner was fueled by veteran seniors Cindy Oh and Anna Parzecki along with junior Allison Lee. It was the first championship banner the Lady Highlanders ever captured in the season-opening event that began in 1980.

Oh went 7-0 in the first round and 6-0 in the second to finish 13-0 in saber while Parzecki was 11-2, going 7-0 in the second round as the duo will continue their student/athlete careers at Northwestern University in the Big Ten Conference. Lee completed the team’s first place performance in the saber squad bracket, going 12-1.

By Jessica Quas Suriano’s debut on the high school varsity stage was awesome as the Bergen County Catholic conquered nationally-ranked grapplers from around the nation and defeated Austin Assad of Becksville (OH) to capture the 106-pound gold medal Beast of the East Tournament in Delaware, becoming the first Crusader to accomplish that feat.

As a result the Paramus resident vaulted into the No. 1 ranking in the nation at 106-pounds and followed with a gold medal performance in the BCCA George Jockish Bergen County Tournament by registering a 2-1 decision over Don Bosco’s Kyle Bierdumpfel, who placed fourth in the Beast of the Beast competition, in double overtime.

COACH OF THE MONTH

• FITNESS • WELLNESS

Now in his 18th season as the River Dell’s girls basketball head coach, Lou Wejnert won his 400th career game on January 3rd of this year.

Wejnert Continuing to Build Success at River Dell

By Edward Kensik ORADELL — Lou Wejnert never thought he would be still coaching 18 years later at River Dell High School.

But there he stood at the beginning of January picking up a ceremonial basketball with 400, the number of wins that he has reached and still going, all at the Oradell-River Edge regional high school.

His 400th win came on January 3 on the road at Ft. Lee as his Lady Golden Hawks dominated the Bridgewomen, 60-22.

During his long tenure at River Dell, he has built the Lady Golden Hawks basketball program into one of the top public high school teams in Bergen County.

And it was in 1995 that he had already lined up basketball games to referee when the phone rang for an interview for the River Dell job. “I never had any idea that I would stay this long,” said Wejnert. “I wanted to get back to coaching instead of being a referee. I love River Dell. I love the kids and I love the administration.”

Wejnert said that the recent NJ Sports Fitness & Wellness Telephone: (973) 605-1213 Fax: (973) 605-1883 editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com 173 Morris Street, 2nd Floor Morristown, NJ 07960 page 4

crop of parents have been terrific including running a Hoops 4 Autism tournament at River Dell to start the basketball season that collected more than $4,000 to help boost autism awareness.

His teams rank up with Pascack Valley’s girls hoops programs coached by Jeff Jasper, one of the few longer tenure coaches than Wejnert in the county. “We want to be in the mix and be in the championship games,” said Wejnert about the goal every season at River Dell. “We’ve had some good battles with them (Pascack Valley) over the years.”

And during his 18 years Wejnert has become friends with Jasper and admitted that he modeled his program off of the Pascack Valley program.

“I did model my program after his with the work during the offseason,” said Wejnert.

“We have worked in the offseason and lots of basketball like them.”

Wejnert admitted that he will never catch up to Jasper’s more than 900 victories. “I always tell him that if I can coach the rest of my life that I can

catch you,” joked Wejnert.

Before coming to River Dell Wejnert had coached at several schools including a stint as head coach at then Jersey City State College which is now New Jersey City University in Jersey City.

But the rigors of college basketball and having children pushed Wejnert to coach high school basketball or referee basketball games.

And Wejnert’s tenure as head coach for the Lady Golden Hawks got off running as his first team went 26-3, only losing in the finals of the Joe Poli Tournament, Bergen County Tournament and the state sectional finals.

After that season the Golden Hawks went 26-1 including being one of the few Bergen County teams to go undefeated during the regular season that included winning the Bergen County title. “That team was extraordinary and it was like women going up against girls that year,” said Wejnert about the 1996-97 team.

In all River Dell was in the Bergen County finals for three straight years in Wejnert’s first

three years. While the Golden Hawks lost two of them, winning in 1997, Wejnert’s tenure was off to a flying start and has never looked back. River Dell was in the county title in 2002 but lost to Immaculate Heart Academy.

And with that early success, Wejnert has continued to build on that and the River Dell team is always one that is mentioned as a threat to win a league title, Bergen County title and state title.

The River Dell girls team has always been a threat to win a state title and defeated Glen Rock in 2010 to win the Group 2 North 1 state title, before losing to Chatham in the Group 2 semi-finals. The last two seasons the Lady Golden Hawks have been foiled in winning a sectional title to Pascack Hills (2011) and Pequannock last season.

This season has been like many of the other seasons for River Dell as they started the season at 7-1. “They were playing well together and good things will happen,” said Wejnert.

And for Wejnert he credits

all the success to his players that have included the likes of Deirdre McCarthy, Lindsay Davis, Samantha Winters, Alyssa May, Breanne Depken, Erin Curotola and Katherine Brock, who just graduated last season among hundreds of others. “I have been very lucky with all the very good basketball players that I have coached,” said Wejnert.

And what it has become more enriching for Wejnert is that his son, Jason, has been coaching with him for 16 of the 18 years. “It has been fun to do this together,” said Lou. “He does everything from scouting to coaching. We do a bad cop, good cop routine in practice. He’s the good cop and I’m the bad cop.”

And what has made Wejnert even prouder is that his former players have turned to the coaching ranks with Davis as head coach at Northern Valley Demarest, Karen Smith as head coach at North Arlington and Curatola as an assistant coach at Pascack

Wejnert and the Lady Golden Hawks after their 60-22 victory over Fort Lee, his career 400th win.

Hills High School among others. “It’s fun to see the girls become coaches,” said Wejnert.

And one big fan of Wejnert is current River Dell Athletic Director Denis Nelson: “Coach Wejnert’s remarkable record of

success as the head girls basketball coach at River Dell High School is a direct result of his dedication and commitment to the talented student-athletes in his program over 18 seasons as of this winter. Lou Wejnert

is an extremely diligent and conscientious coach who gets the most out of his teams and players. His team’s consistent excellence in execution, performance and results is a tribute to his coaching abilities.”

Suriano Ignites Crusaders to 53rd BCT Team Title

By Dennis Wilson Fueled by a quartet of gold medal performances, Bergen Catholic breezed to the team title in the 53rd Annual BCCA George Jockish Holiday Wrestling Tournament contested on the campus of Rockland Community College in Suffern (NY) on Sunday, December 30, 2012.

Crusader frosh Nick Suriano, the Beast of the East champion, ignited the Bergen Catholic parade of champions when he escaped in the second overtime session to capture the 106pound title with a 2-1 verdict over Kyle Bierdumpfel of Don Bosco Prep. At 113-pounds, Tyler Casamenti pulled out a 3-2 decision over Anthony Rubenetti of Northern Valley/Demarest to claim his first BCT crown.

Junior Johnny Sebastian cappage 6

tured his third crown when he packed and planted Michael Silano of St. Joseph Regional/ Montvale with three seconds remaining in the second period of the 182-pound title match.

Laurien Anghelina recorded a surprise for the BC coaching staff as the unseeded grappler coasted to a 10-3 decision over second-seeded Matt Zavistoski of St. Joseph Regional/Montvale in the battle for the 130pound championship.

Finishing in the runnerup team slot was St. Joseph Regional/Montvale utilizing his strength in the upper weights.

Dominic Carfagno dominated the 195-pound bracket, decking four straight opponents until he topped Bergen Catholic’s Christian Jenco to claim the gold medal. In the heavyweight division, the Green Knights’

Kevin Wilkins put the Crusaders’ Carmine Goldsack on his back at 4:45 to win the 285pound bracket.

Don Bosco Prep, with three champions – Luis Gonzalez (120), Luke Farinaro (170) and Zack Chakonis (22) placed third in the team standings while Northern Highlands’ four team effort was tops for a public school. The Highlanders were led by 160-pounder Nick Gravina who pinned River Dell’s Tyler Kallenesee to be-

come only the sixth wrestler to claim four BCT titles. Without the benefit of a county champion, River Dell turned in a balanced effort to finish in fifth place.

Northern Valley/Demarest senior Owen Mayer not only was unseeded, he packed up and turned Ridgefield Park’s Chris Fitzgerald to the mat in 11 seconds into the 152pound division, to record the fastest fall of the championship finals. editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com

EXERCISING

COLD WEATHER EXERCISING Contributed by Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation

It is cold, sometimes wet and the daylight hours are filled with work and family activities…but there is no need for your outdoor fitness routine to go into hibernation! Staying active can help beat the winter doldrums, keep you in shape and ready for spring. Here are some guidelines for staying safe while exercising in the cold…

FIND A BUDDY Recruit a friend to exercise with you. Knowing that someone is waiting for you will help motivate you! Not to mention safety.

LATHER UP Be sure to wear sunscreen and use chapstick!

DRESS IN LAYERS Start with a thin layer made of wicking fabric. Stay away from cotton - it holds the moisture.

An outer, breathable layer will can help protect you against wind and precipitation. If it’s really cold, you’ll need a middle layer, such as polar fleece, for added insulation.

PROTECT YOUR HANDS As much as 30% of your body heat escapes through your hands and feet. On mild

days, wear running gloves that wick moisture away. Mittens are a better choice on colder days because your fingers will share their body heat.

PAY ATTENTION TO TEMPERATURE AND WIND CHILL If the wind is strong, it penetrates your clothes and removes the insulating layer of warm air around you. If the temperature dips below zero or the wind chill is below minus 20, it may be better to hit the treadmill instead.

AVOID OVERDRESSING You’re going to warm up once you get moving, so you should feel a little bit chilly when you start your run. A good rule of thumb: Dress as if it is 20 degrees warmer outside than it really is.

DON’T FORGET YOUR HEAD Wearing a hat will help prevent heat loss, so your circulatory system will have more heat to distribute to the rest of the body.

WATCH FOR FROSTBITE Make sure you monitor your fingers, toes, ears and nose.

They may feel numb at first, but they should warm up a few minutes into your run.

CHECK WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN Cold air can trigger chest pain or asthma attacks in some people. Before braving the elements, talk to your doctor if you have any medical conditions or concerns about exercising outdoors.

GET SOME SHADES The glare from snow can cause snow blindness, so wear sunglasses (polarized lenses are best) to avoid this problem.

DON’T STAY IN WET CLOTHES If you’re wet, change your clothes and get to warm as quickly as possible.

STAY HYDRATED Despite the cold weather, you’ll still heat up and lose fluids through sweat. Cold air also has a drying effect, which can increase the risk of dehydration. So keep drinking water.

The “Dirty Dozen” Exercises: Contributed by American Eagle Mixed Martial Arts & Kettlebells

More often than not, I get asked “Coach, what are the best exercises to do?” Or “If you were to choose “X” amount of exercises, what would they be?”. There are a plethora of great exercises and variations that my students and I truly love to do. However if I were to boil it down to several movements that are essential to any strength and conditioning regiment, I would choose 6 Kettlebell exercises and 6 Bodyweight movements.

I’m not saying that these are the ONLY exercises you should do but they all should be included in your workout regiment, no matter what your focus is. These exercises will increase strength, endurance, coordination, flexibility and durability like no others.

These exercises will even improve your performance with your bench press, deadlift and bar squats, not to mention your physique.

Over the next year, I’ll be putting forth write ups accompanied by videos on the “Dirty Dozen”. We’ll discuss variations and progressions, especially when considering bodyweight. I’ll discuss each movement in depth and give my reasoning for the selection of each movement.

OK – here’s the list.

Kettlebells The Kettlebell Swing: This movement is the root of all Kettlebell Training and one of the great differentiators between Kettlebell based training and all other strength developing exercise systems.

The Kettlebell Swing “reverse engineers” the practitioner’s hips by developing hip hinge through the pop and lock required to execute the movement properly.

The Front Squat: Single

Rack or Bottoms up. Squatting is the most important movement for lower body strength.

The Front Squat, by virtue of the position of the Kettlebell, requires the complete linkage of the upper and lower body.

Tensioning of the trunk (I’m not a fan of the word “core”) and maintaining the bell in the prescribed position requires considerable upper body engagement in addition to the tension in the trunk.

The Kettlebell Press: Pressing heavy weight above your head is very cool and extremely useful. The Kettlebell Press employs full range of motion, full body tension and the active negative motion of the bell.

The Get-up: There is not a single movement that incorporates more muscles of the body than the Get up, also known as the Turkish Get Up or TGU. This incredible exercise is a signature movement of Kettlebell Training. Dynamic tension, balance, flexibility and body alignment are all developed with the TGU. The Clean: The Kettlebell Clean is used in a great deal of Kettlebell complexes, racking the kettlebell for Squats and Presses, but it’s an incredibly beneficial stand alone movement. A single arm clean taxes the stabilizers in the trunk as well as reinforcing the tensioning and relaxing of the body.

The Kettlebell Snatch: This is my favorite of all Kettlebell movements. The Kettlebell Snatch is a ballistic movement that develops strength, endurance, speed, coordination and there is no question why this movement is used in both competitions and testing as a fitness barometer.

The Kettlebell Snatch V02 Max workout is unmatched in maximizing one’s volume of oxygen uptake.

Bodyweight The Bridge: An ignored movement in American physical fitness. Very few athletes, except for wrestlers and gymnasts, utilize this crucial movement. The Bridge is exactly what it’s name connotes. The development of a strong, flexible spine linking together the upper torso with the trunk and lower limbs. Strong spinal erectors are essential to a healthy spine and unhindered movement. Key to athletics, active living and certain vocations - not to mention every day living!

Hanging Abdominal: One can do thousands of crunches and buy every gimmicky ab machine on the TV at 2:00am, but nothing will develop your abdominal strength better than the Hanging the Abdominal. Lifting your legs up to your chest or your feet above your head develops and requires significant abdominal strength.

The Pistol (Single Leg Squat): The most difficult and beneficial leg exercise - period.

The training en route a butt to heel Pistol develops balance, trunk stability and incredible leg strength. There are weight lifters that can full squat 600 pounds, yet they collapse and

fall over when attempting the Pistol.

The Hand Stand: This is the coolest of all bodyweight exercises. Nothing demonstrates full body control and balance than being able to invert yourself in the middle of a room and hold it there.

The progressions building up to the Handstand develop incredible shoulder and trunk strength.

The Pull-up: There is no single exercise that demonstrates and develops upper body strength like the Pull-up.

If you can do 20 pull-ups, you are in great shape. I challenge you to show me a person who can do 20 pull-ups and doesn’t have a 6-pack.

The Push-up: The Push-up is my favorite for several reasons. There are fun and challenging variations, the movement works not only your upper body but conditions your abdominals and reinforces the total body tensioning. The best thing about Push-ups is that you can do them virtually anywhere that there is a floor.

Your bedroom, basement or office - anywhere. There is no good reason for you not to do them. Get started now!

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Sports Parents…

“The Sports Edge” with Rick Wolff can be listened to every Sunday morning from 8am to 9am on Sportsradio 66 WFAN.

there were no sidelines in girls’ lax.

I guess I had never read about that rule. But I should have.

You get the idea. If you want to be supportive and encouraging of your child in whatever sport they play, be proactive and take the time to learn the sport with them.

Habit Two: Be Encouraging…know how to pick your spots with your child

By Rick Wolff Habit One: Let your child lead you….

In terms of what sport or sports your child wants to play…bear in mind that it may be a sport that you have little personal background in, have little expertise in, and have little interest in…BUT that’s not the point.

It’s supposed to be about YOUR youngster, and if they are attracted to certain sports that you didn’t play or don’t follow, well, that’s okay. It just means you have to spend a little time learning about those sports.

NOW…that doesn’t mean you can’t encourage your child to explore other sports.

And indeed you should, When they are just starting out in athletics, you want to expose them to a variety of sports, whether it be soccer, swimming, gymnastics, tennis, etc. page 24

Example: my wife and I have three kids, and when they were growing up, they were immediately attracted to such sports as soccer, ice hockey, lax, and swimming.

When I was a kid, I played football, baseball, and basketball…I knew about ice hockey, but I never learned how to skate, and thus never played.

Soccer didn’t exist in my town, nor did swimming or lax.

So when my kids wanted to play soccer, I found myself going to the local library to learn about the rules and traditions of the game. Tried to learn about and figure out the offside rule. Learned about different offensive formations in soccer.

When I went to watch my older daughter play HS lax, one day I was standing off to the side of the field when a ref came over and told me I had to move. I thought I was far from the action and behind the sidelines, but she told me that I had to move because

All kids love praise. These days….they want it, expect it, and at times, they get angry if they don’t get it.

As the proud sports parent, you need to praise and support your child at all times.

However, the key to effective and meaningful sports praise is to be very specific….

Don’t just give them a generic “Great game!” or “Nice job!”…that’s meaningless.

You want to prove to your youngster that not only were you paying close attention at their game, but that you were especially impressed with a particular play. So, tell them: “You know that deke move you made at the end of the fi rst period? That was something special.” Or…”I was especially impressed with that amazing pass you made on that fast break late in the game.”

Kids LOVE that kind of detail…and often, once you start the conversation on that tone, they will immediately start to discuss the event in detail with you. That’s a win-win.

Habit Three: Don’t Be Afraid of Adversity for Your Child…

Every top athlete who I have ever worked with has encoun-

tered adversity at some point in their career…I just don’t mean they lost a big game.

I mean they were cut from a team...or a coach didn’t think they were very good…or they were injured and had to sit out for a long time…

You talk to any pro athlete, and I guarantee you that they will all have their own stories of failures, setbacks — in short, adversity. Nobody gets through a successful athletic career without experiencing setbacks.

But what the top athletes do that most of the others DON’T do is that they persevere…that is, they just don’t give up. They feel sorry for themselves for a day or two, but then they resolve themselves to work harder, to get better, to improve…

That’s how adversity can be used to make youngster into a better and stronger athlete.

Parents need to understand this. It’s a delicate conversation with your child… BUT you have to be careful not to transform yourself into the ultimate helicopter parent who intervenes with the coach and complains.

In the long run, that doesn’t help your child. Better yet, what a wonderful feeling to see your youngster working at their game, practicing on their own, motivated by their own sense of drive and purpose.

If there’s one major takeway from sports, it’s probably this…how to teach your child how to rely upon oneself to deal with setbacks and adversity. Yes, it’s painful — no one wants to see their kid fail. But in the grand scheme of life, it’s also a vital lesson.

• FITNESS •

Habit Four: Learn how to communicate WELL with your athlete This means that as your child grows and gets a little older, you will begin to sense that he or she has their own unique way of both getting ready for a game, and also a distinct style as to how they relax after a game.

What I mean is that many sports parents — knowing full well that their youngster has a big game today — will take it upon themselves to give their young athlete a kind of pregame pep talk. “Make sure you hustle back on defense”….”don’t waste any open shots”…”these opponents today are good….you need to bring your A game.”

Stuff like this basically is a way for an eager sports parent to blow off their own pre-game anxiety. But instead of helping the child, it only makes them more nervous.

So what do you do? Say very little. Let your child talk. If they have questions, let them ask you. Again, let them lead the way.

Think back — when you were a kid playing sports, did your Dad give you pre-game pep talks? Probably not.

On the way home, avoid the PGA…the Post Game Analysis. Don’t make this common mistake. Let the kid bask in the afterglow of the competition. There’s no need for you to give them a break-down of the game.

Habit Five: Utilize the Praise Sandwich

Parents ask: so, if I can’t do a PGA, how do I get my constructive criticism to my kid?

The Praise Sandwich is the best way…

You’ve heard me describe this before…but trust me, it works…

During a quiet moment in the evening…let’s say your kid plays basketball and has become something of a ball hog…that is, they don’t pass and they like to shoot.

First, a thin slice of praise: It’s remarkable how good you’ve become at shooting the ball…that’s a great step forward.

Then, a bit of constructive criticism…

But as you score more and more, teams are going to start to double-team you….and if you can learn how to dish the ball off to open teammates…

And now the fi nal bit of praise…you’ll become pretty much a complete force…now only can you shoot but you can also pass.

That’s all you have to say… don’t lean on it…give them a few days for the words to sink in…and then see what happens.

Habit Six: Use a Third-Party Influencer When Needed Sometimes, a parent will tell me that their youngster really won’t listen anymore to them — that the kid disregards the positive feedback that’s being given to them by the parent.

When that happens, I occasionally ask the Mom or Dad if there’s a third party who can

be approached. For example, is there a friend of the family, or perhaps an older HS student, or even a neighbor who — very much on the sly — can be approached to act as an intermediary?

By that, I mean the athlete’s parent goes up to the third party, and explains to him that the youngster needs to hear some positive feedback.

In short, it’s much more meaningful when the high praise comes from a third party outsider as opposed to Mom and Dad. Again, you have to be careful about this approach…but trust me, when a young athlete is told by an outsider that he or she is really making tremendous progress, or is really developing into a terrific athlete, that kind of praise can really serve as a rocket fuel to a kid’s confidence.

Habit Seven: What’s the Overall Takeaway?

Is it all about just getting a college scholarship? Or turning pro?

I hope not…if it is, then you’ll be missing out on those joyous moments in your child’s sports career…moments that can, and should be, shared by the family.

But if you focus solely on the long-range goal of a college scholarship, then these magical moments will go by relatively unnoticed – as though they are merely expected –

rather than to be celebrated.

There’s nothing wrong with when your son or daughter have a big game than to let them know that they are to be proud of all of the hard work and effort they put into mastering their skills…that these kinds of accomplishments are to be reflected upon, and cherished by them.

As parents and as adults, we know that there’s only a limited number of years that a youngster can learn, grow, and develop in sports, and when they have that big game — they score a winning goal…or they tackle the opposing ball carrier on a crucial goal-line stand…or they make the perfect pass….it’s important for them to keep that memory burnished in their mind’s eye for a good long time.

And as their parent, you need — actually want — to take a moment or two to let them know how wonderful that feeling is.

Sports are about feeling good about oneself…about living in the moment…and about sharing those special moments with teammates, coaches, and of course, one’s family.

That’s what we should be striving for as successful sports parents.

Using Chores to Teach School and Study Skills

Th The

Contributed by Huntington Learning Center

By Dr. Raymond J. Huntington If your household is like most, there are many dayto-day duties that must be completed. While tasks like laundry and doing dishes may seem tedious for children, research conducted by the University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human Development shows that “involving children in household tasks at an early age can have a positive impact later in life.”

Without a doubt, chores foster a good attitude about working hard and being responsible and have many other important benefits.

Here are several suggestions to help your child build valuable skills while contributing around the house: • Picking up clutter –

Make time each day for your child to pick up his or her bedroom or around the house. Try setting a timer and challenging your child to see how much he or she can accomplish in five or 10 minutes. Learning to understand how long different tasks take will help your child become better at budgeting his or her time - for homework as well as timed tests and assignments at school.

• Cooking – Helping in the kitchen is an excellent way to put math concepts into action, including fractions (using measuring cups and spoons, for example), addition (when counting ingredients, measuring and more), multiplication (when doubling a recipe), and telling time and temperature.

Older children can learn about chemistry from the changes that foods undergo during the

cooking process.

• Preparing menus and grocery lists - Planning your family’s weekly menu and making an accompanying grocery list requires many different skills.

Children must think ahead about what they want to eat, other commitments each evening (such as soccer practice or club meetings), and what ingredients they will need to cook the meal. Planning and managing a project - dinner in this case - are skills they will use again and again.

• Organizing – As any busy parent knows, there is much to keep track of in a household.

Ask your older child to help organize the pantry, a closet or another area of the home, developing a reliable organizational system. You could also put your child in charge of collecting and sorting the mail every day, maintaining the family calendar or fi ling papers, bills and other important documents in the family filing cabinet. Organization chores emphasize the importance of having a designated place for everything. Students who are organized are more likely to avoid misplacing their homework and being tardy and later, will better understand how to manage multi-step assignments and projects.

• Cleaning – Cleaning the kitchen or bathroom can be a science experiment waiting to happen. Use all-natural cleaning products, such as vinegar, baking soda and lemon juice and do some research with

your child on how they work and how they differ from chemical cleaning products.

Find recipes for homemade cleaners online.

• Feeding pets – Caring for and feeding the family pet teaches your child about commitment, being relied upon and keeping to a schedule. It also reinforces the lesson that your child’s actions have consequences.

Have your child develop a chart to keep track of feedings, or take things further and bring him or her along to veterinary appointments so he or she can learn about your animal’s health.

Age-appropriate chores teach responsibility, work ethic, organization and time management - and they even help children build self-esteem as they gain the satisfaction of seeing tasks through to completion.

Chores can also reinforce school skills such as math, reading, critical thinking and more. With all of these benefits, assigning chores takes on new meaning. Not only will you gain extra hands around the house, your child will be learning and growing as a person and student.
