Teaching Kids about Setting Goals

The concept of a "New Year's Resolution" is a bit much for a young child to understand.  But it's never too soon to teach your child about setting goals.  Children get an incredible sense of pride when they accomplish even the simplest tasks by themselves.

Why not make your 2013 New Year's Resolution about helping your child celebrate their independence and accomplishments.  Start by helping your child write down something they want to learn in 2013, like learning to tie their shoes or count to 10.  Start with something small you know they can do and then celebrate when they reach their goal.

This just may be a new annual tradition for the whole family!
