One myth about sport every parent should know

The Team from ACC New Zealand

A more realistic outcome is early burnout, loss of motivation and potential mental health issues in later life.

Since 2008 we’ve seen a 60% surge in sporting injuries among under 14s. This is twice that of any other age group.

We’ve talked with the experts to discover how to maintain Kiwi kids’ sporting balance, and how you can help them reach their potential:

RE-POST WITH PHOTOS OF SMALL CAR ACCIDENT AT COUNTDOWN, FENTON ST - SUNDAY ARVO 26/6

Hi - This is a RE-POST in the hope that someone could please come forward...I have photos this time as well. Many thanks!


I had a small car accident with another car at Countdown, Fenton Street last Sunday (26/6)... There were quite a few on-lookers at the time of the accident, so I would greatly appreciate if any witnesses could come forward.

My Insurance Company (AA) would like to investigate further, as it may not 'actually' have been my fault (even though I was backing at the time).


I have a red Mazda and I personally believe the blue Subaru didn't see me as I was backing out and drove straight into the back of my car. They didn't stop immediately (as I did) either, as there are marks all along their passenger side (as you can see in the photos).

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who can help.



Many thanks

Ingrid

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
