Do You Monitor Your Kids' Internet Use
Family Room blog is open for local parents to discuss the issues, or share their own tips for building strong families in town

With one full month of school now under the belt, the challenge isn't likely about adapting to early rising but the hurdle of managing homework amidst all the other after school happenings.
Our West Islip Family Room hopes to be the place where parents can share their thoughts on issues like Internet use, or to share any advice on building strong local families.
Sharing is easy.
