Happy 2015 everyone!
I forgot my party hat, but I am still excited about a brand new year! It is always a good idea to reflect on the past year and make resolutions for a whole new year! I hope Santa found everyone. He certainly found me. I must have been a very good boy!
I asked my pet parent, Mrs. Ellis, what exactly is a resolution. She told me it was goal setting. She said that it is important to set realistic goals.
Before your kids head back to school next week, set some time aside time to create new goals that your kids can work toward in the upcoming months. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to help them set their goals as long as they are achievable and realistic. Feel free to create some short and long-term goals.
The best way to get your children involved is to set goals with them. This way they can see it is just as important for you to achieve and work toward New Year’s resolutions as it is for them.
Making a list of goals just sounds tedious and boring, especially for kids. Instead of having them write a list, they can draw pictures of the goals they want to create. They could even paint them, and you can post them on the refrigerator where they can see them every day.
As you create goals with your kids in the New Year, don’t forget to add a few education goals that will prep them for higher learning and will encourage them to perform better in school. One goal I recommend is to read aloud a minimum of 20 minutes every day.
Whether you set one goal or many, make sure you set at least one. Everyone needs goals in order to succeed.
Happy goal setting!! Remember to try to set "REACH"able goals. This is Governor II signing off until next time!
