My last two blogs have been about how to make your New Year’s resolution stick. But let’s step away from you and look at your family.

Have you ever thought about setting a resolution with your child?

It can be a great way to

• raise self-esteem,
• improve health,
• set good habits, and
• work together as a team.

Here are a few thoughts to get started.

• Children imitate what they see, so set your achievable and measurable goal first, then share it with your child.
• Next, talk with them about a goal they may want to accomplish.
• Help them develop a plan, along with a way you can track their progress with them.
• Be a coach and a cheerleader for your child.

You can set goals for younger children but explain why you’re setting them and how they will benefit. There’s no age limit for New Year’s resolutions done wisely.
