Posted on: 30/Dec/2017 1:35:01 PM
According to experts, creating New Year resolutions as a family project has tremendous benefits that kids will especially enjoy. Children learn from their primary role models so when they see parents discussing New Year’s resolutions they are inclined to follow in their steps as well. This is a perfect opportunity for parents to use as a teachable moment to help children begin to improve themselves.
While the year is fresh it certainly helps to create a setting that is friendly and fun. Being positive and engaging is a good way to start. When the list is completed, each member can then share how they would turn their positive task responses into goals for the New Year. Now it is time to write down some of the challenging items that each family member felt were not positive behavior issues. Here are some resolution goals for kids:
- Being a better listener to dad and mom
- Picking up and putting away toys
- Feeding and taking care of pets
- Washing hands and brushing teeth
- Doing daily and weekly chores
- Healthy living suggestions like eating less junk food, drinking more water and milk or exercising more regularly
- Observing family bed time hours
- Stop oversleeping in the morning
- Stop texting at the dinner table
