A new year is an inspiring time. It’s like a fresh piece of paper—a blank slate. It’s an opportune time for families to discuss their hopes and dreams for the year ahead and define some aims they’d like to strive for together. Setting goals as a family and working toward them together teaches children how to eventually set their own goals and break big ideas into manageable pieces.
Review the Concluding Year
Set out some snacks and pull up your photos from the past year to encourage a chat about the year that’s wrapping up. Make note of both the fond memories and the challenges. Enjoy reminiscing, and celebrate overcoming difficulties and the lessons learned.As you review, ask yourselves: What habits or goals do you want to carry over to the new year?
