Family New Year Resolutions
By Polly | January 10, 2007
If you haven’t already done so, take time as a family this month to create a family New Year’s resolution. A family resolution is one the entire family can participate in creating and fulfilling, a goal the family works toward together. For example, one resolution may be to spend time each week together as a family, or another may be to volunteer the family’s time two hours each month to a local charity or cause. Be creative and have fun. Here are some tips to get you started:
- Involve all members of the family in the creation of the resolution.
- Be flexible and willing to try new things.
- Don’t rush to get this done. Begin by introducing the idea at dinner one night and give everyone some time to come up with ideas.
- Hold each other accountable for the success of this goal.
- Set up mini celebrations throughout the year like a trip for ice cream or a dinner out to celebrate your continued success.
