(NAPSA)—If you’ve been thinking,
or even just dreaming, about buying a
new home but “renophobia”—the fear
of having to do renovations—is hold-
ing you back, you may be glad to hear
two things.
1. You’re not alone. Often, pro-
spective homebuyers, particularly mil-
lennials, want a turnkey home but can’t
afford one in their desired area, and a
fear of renovating means they remain
renters. At the same time, many older
homes have the potential to become a
dream house with a little TLC.
2. Technological advancements
can make homebuying easier and less
expensive.
You can now know just what reno-
vations and repairs a house you’re
considering will need, even before
you visit it. That’s because Intero Real
Estate Services (interorealestate.com)
has partnered with Kukun, an online
platform offering digital solutions
that help homeowners navigate the
home remodeling process. Through
the widget, you get real-time home
renovation estimates and return on
investment information for the online
listings. You can see which renova-
tions you’d like to do, how much they
will cost and what the property will be
worth once they’re complete. You can
even see which other homes in the

area have had renovations and which
construction companies or contractors
were used.
What’s more, there are easy-to-use
tools that help home renovators man-
age the process from beginning to end
and control the time and money in-
volved along the way. It’s simple to do.
You can access the system through an
app on your phone as well as the wid-
get and get valuable data as you walk
through a property.
What To Look For
While you’re doing that, think
about these seven things.
1. Is the building structurally
sound? Look for big cracks, dampness
around baseboards, and sagging walls.
Check the window frames for cracked
paint. Look at the ceiling for cracks,
fl aky plaster or water stains.
2. Are the rooms and closets
big enough? Are there enough bath-
rooms? Are the ceilings a good height
for you? Will your family and furniture
fi t comfortably?
3. Inspect the plumbing. Check
the water pressure. Turn on all the
faucets and fl ush all the toilets. See
whether the pipes are insulated and
make sure they’re not lead. Look un-
der the sinks for leaks, water damage
or mold.
4. Check out the basement and
the attic. How easy is access? Is there
much storage space? Could it be con-
verted into extra rooms? Is there insu-
lation?
5. Learn about the neighbor-
hood. How are the schools? How close
is shopping? What’s the transporta-
tion like in the area? Is it under a fl ight
path?
6. Look to the layout. How easy is
it to get from room to room and from
indoors to out?
7. It’s a hot idea to be sure the
heating and cooling systems work.

Help Your Kid Say No To Underage Drinking
(NAPSA)—How do you prepare
your child with the knowledge,
skills and confi dence to say no to
alcohol? The task can seem chal-
lenging, but you as a parent or
caregiver do not have to feel pow-
erless. You can take action to help
your child make healthy decisions
that prevent underage drinking.
While the rates are declining,
alcohol is the most widely mis-
used substance among America’s
youth and underage drinking
remains a serious concern in the
U.S. The 2016 Report to Congress
on the Prevention and Reduction
of Underage Drinking fi nds that
youth start drinking at an early
age. Although the peak years of
underage drinking happen from
7th to 11th grade, 10 percent of
9- to 10-year-olds have already
started drinking and nearly one-
fi fth of underage drinkers begin
before age 13.
The report also fi nds that any
alcohol use can have serious ?con-
sequences for young people. It
contributes to risky sexual behav-
ior and increases the risk of suicide
and using other drugs. It can neg-
atively impact brain development,
which can have lifelong effects.
It can increase the risk for heavy
drinking later in life. And under-
age drinking can result in arrest or,
worse yet, death from drunk driv-
ing or alcohol poisoning.
So what’s behind this issue?
There are many reasons young
people are tempted to drink, in-
cluding peer pressure. Underage
drinking typically happens in a
group, and for adolescents the de-
sire to fi t in is powerful. Other risk
factors include having a history of
social and emotional problems,
such as depression, and a family
history of substance abuse. Trying
to cope with diffi cult life transi-
tions, such as divorce in the fam-
ily or moving from middle to high
school, can also trigger underage
drinking.
The fi rst-ever Surgeon Gen-
eral’s Re??port on Alcohol, Drugs,
and Health shows how parents are
a leading infl uence in a child’s de-
cision about whether to drink.
N eed
a
Spending time with your children
can prevent underage drinking.
How Parents Can Help
1. Be a positive role model.
Children learn from observing
and that starts at home. Don’t let
your child see you misuse alcohol
or drugs, and get help if you think
you have a substance use problem.
Even if you have misused drugs or
alcohol in the past, you can still
have an open conversation about
their dangers and the reasons to
stay away from them. In addition,
keep temptation away by safe-
guarding alcohol and medications
at home so they are not accessible
to your child.
2. Strengthen family bonds.
Be involved in your child’s life and
spend more time together. Show
interest in your child’s activities
and plan ones you can do togeth-
er based on their interests, such as
attending sports games or hav-
ing family movie or game nights.
Know your child’s daily routine in
and out. Get to know your child’s
friends and friends’ parents, so you
can share your rules about not al-
lowing any form of alcohol or sub-
stance use.
3. Encourage your child to get
involved in extracurricular ac-
tivities. In the same way, support
your child’s involvement in school
clubs, such as debate or yearbook,
team sports or other outside inter-
ests. Doing so will help build your
child’s confi dence, respect, leader-
ship, sportsmanship and ability to
work with others. Also, keeping
your child engaged in positive ac-
tivities helps avoid the chance that
idle time is fi lled with potentially
dangerous behavior.
4. Balance your child’s inde-
pendence with safe boundar-
ies. Provide daily encouragement
to your child to boost self-esteem
and confi dence. Find ways for your
child to have more responsibility
in family life, such as doing chores
or caring for a younger sibling.
Set clear expectations, including
about alcohol and drug use. Cre-
ate a pledge between you and
your child that commits your child
to not drink or use drugs.
5. Talk to your children regu-
larly about alcohol. Young peo-
ple are more likely to listen when
they know you’re on their side. Try
to reinforce why you don’t want
your child to drink—not just be-
cause you say so but because you
want them to be happy and safe.
The conversation will go a lot bet-
ter if you’re working with, and not
against, your child. Keep it low
key. Don’t worry about getting ev-
erything across in one talk. Many
small talks are ?better.
Help for Parents
If you are worried your child
may be involved with alcohol or
drugs, it’s important to seek pro-
fessional guidance. Your pediatri-
cian can be a fi rst-stop resource.
There are also many online re-
sources to help you better under-
stand the issue of underage drink-
ing and talk to and encourage
your kid to stay away from alcohol.
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) has underage drinking
prevention resources specifi cally
for parents and caregivers at www.
samhsa.gov/underage-drinking.
This includes access to SAMHSA’s
free app for parents called “Talk.
They Hear You” to help prepare
you to talk to your kid about un-
derage drinking through practice
drills.
By being proactive and fol-
lowing the suggestions described
here, you can help strengthen
your child’s resistance to alcohol.
Take the fi rst step by making the
commitment to talk together to-
day.
