Looking for parenting ideas? Try the NYS Family Resources Web
site
The Council on Children and Families (www.ccf.state.ny.us)
is pleased to present the
NYS Family Resources.org website. This website contains a
unique collection of resources focusing on contemporary family
issues and is designed for parents, professionals, and community
leaders, particularly those who serve children and youth.
In 1986, the Council on Children and Families, with the New York
State Citizens Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect, published
the Family Resources Book, an annotated bibliography of
pamphlets and books, audiovisual materials, and a compilation of
state and national organizations that served children and
families. For the past 20 years, it has been a very popular
publication. Due to its popularity and changes in the field and
in technology, the Council began to revise and update the
information contained in that publication and developed the NYS
Family Resources website. (read

My Child Wants To
Drive…So, now, what do I do?
-
The
first step to obtain a license in New York State is to take
a test. Read the following DMV
publication.
-
You have decided that you really want to let
you child drive (Application
for Driver License).
-
My child and I came to an agreement so he
could get his driver license. I would allow him to get his
diver’s license and he guaranteed that he would get good
grades. He is not upholding his end of the bargain. What
can I do?
It is important for kids to know that
driving is a “privilege” and not a “right.” Just because you
gave permission for your child to get his or her license,
does not mean that you do not have the ability to take it
away…at anytime…and, just because you say so. All you have
to do is sign the
attached form and deliver it to NY Department of Motor
Vehicle’s office.
Junior Drivers Pamphlet answers your

"Do Not Call Registry"
To Expire Soon
In June 2003, the federal government established
the National Do Not Call Registry giving people a choice about
whether or not to receive telemarketing calls at their homes.
Under the legislation, telephone numbers remain
on the list for five years. At the end of five years, numbers
are automatically dropped without notifying the registrant.
Beginning June 2008, the original phone numbers
will start automatically dropping from the list, allowing
telemarketers to once again begin calling, unless you renew you
phone’s registration.
To renew your phone’s registration, click
Do Not Call Registry.

children?

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please contact
