Include Family In Your 
New Year’s Resolutions
Setting goals is a great way to nurture your growth.  That’s
why it’s important to make New Year’s resolutions for
family if you want your family life to change and improve. 
Consider including these goals this year:
Pare down activities.  Families are busier than ever,
so it’s important to make room for consistent
togetherness time.  For example, think about cutting
back on activities so everyone can eat dinner together most nights.
Build confidence in children’s strengths.  Parents spend a lot of time pointing out kids’
weaknesses.  Yet successful people become that way because they focus on their strengths.  Do the
same for your kids.  It will give them the confidence to tackle their weaknesses.
Consider establishing regular family meetings.  These times should be used to discuss schedules
and goals, and even grievances.  In essence, family
meetings are important to help everyone in the family
reconnect.
Make personal resolutions a family affair.  If
you’ve decided that you need to do more charitable
work, consider making your personal goal a family goal. 
Volunteering as a family is a powerful way to build self-
esteem and establish a sense of community in yourself
and your children.
Work on a parenting weakness.  There are many
resources that can help you improve your parenting
skills.  Head to the library or start surfing the Internet.
