We all know the dangers of tech these days, but it's unavoidable. 

Our kids need a laptop for school, an iPad to pass the time, and a phone for parents to reach them on. 

There are positives to technology, we just need to teach our children to take advantage of the good things their devices have to offer.

Sheridan Eketone: Kids on devices isn't all bad

NCEA results are officially out.

Most kids would have genuinely worked as hard as they could to get the grades they hoped for - even the kids who act like they don't really care. 

And for many it won't have turned out as hey had planned - whether that meant not quite meeting the dizzying heights of their ambition or an actual fail grade. But it's unavoidable - at some stage through their school career - and life for that matter, most of us have to deal with the disappointment of failure.

They need to learn how to deal with that disappointment - but it will of course still be there, so how are parents supposed to help their children through it?

The no-consent granny flat law changes came in this week. 

That means you can build an up-to-70sqm dwelling in your backyard without having to ask the council if you're allowed to. 

Getting one set up on your property would set you back at least $200,000, but the question on minds of anyone with enough space for something like this is - how much value will it add? 

They can be rented out for a bit of passive income - but it may not be worth the trouble of getting it fit to rent.
