New Year's Resolutions to Make With Your Children

New year’s resolutions are great for goal setting, and creating resolutions with your kids also has many benefits. By making resolutions with your kids, you teach them how to create resolutions and goals for themselves, and it is also a good way to bond with them while making awesome, new memories.

Below are some tips on family friendly resolutions to make with your kids.

1. Create a new family tradition

Traditions can help create new, happy memories. Here are some examples of new traditions:

• Special breakfasts on birthdays
• Movie night once a week/month
• Game night once a week/month

2. Cook together once a month

Cooking with kids is beneficial for two reasons: it promotes family bonding and also teaches them a life skill.

3. Have a monthly date

Make plans to go out once a month for some one-on-one time with your son or daughter. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. The fast food play area can work, although older kids may prefer to see a movie or go to a museum. The point is to spend some time alone with your child.

4. Make a money goal to manage together

Make a resolution that this year you’ll help your child learn more about how money works. The best way to do that is to give him or her some hands-on experience. Select a money goal you can work on together, even if you’re the one providing all the money. For example, depending on their age, they may be able to help with the budget and planning for a birthday party or a family vacation.

5. Plan an annual adventure

It doesn’t have to be expensive or even all that involved. Heading to a new museum or camping in the backyard can qualify. Stepping outside your normal routine can be an excellent way to bring family members of all ages together for some serious memory-making.

6. Find an outside activity for the family

By outside, we’re talking about an activity that will take you out of the house. Unless you have serious air quality issues in your area, spending time in the great outdoors is a proven way to improve both your physical and mental health. Here are some ideas:

• Skiing, snowshoeing or sledding
• Hiking
• Camping
• Biking
• Gardening

7. Learn something new together

The sky’s the limit, but here are some ideas of what you could learn:

• A new language
• Sewing or crafting
• DIY home repair
