As a family, the New Year is a great opportunity to decide together what habits and rhythms of life you want to live out in 2021. It’s also a great time to come together and set some family goals for the upcoming year too. And, that’s why in today’s episode, we want to share 4 Life-Changing Near Year’s Resolutions for your family to make this year. These ideas will grow your closeness with one another, but they will also set healthy rhythms for your children to take with them into adulthood.
When we think of New Year’s Resolutions, many times we are very aware of what changes we want to make in ourselves like losing the last bit of baby weight or wanting to read more books. And sometimes we are keenly aware of what changes we hope to make in our spouses. Har, har..just kidding…this episode has nothing to do with that.
Until the pandemic hit last year, we had never thought about making meaningful family resolutions. In a previous episode, we talked about discussing with your family about what stays and what goes. It was in the middle of our country’s lockdown when we were all working and learning from home. Everything else but grocery stores were shut down…so literally, we lived, worked, and played at home. But, in the middle of this mess, we were able to look at everything we used to have in our schedules and take a proactive step in choosing if we will put those activities back in.
In This Episode, You Will Hear About:
The 4 life-changing resolutions to make with your family:
Adopt a growth mindset.
Try things that we will fail at.
Practice "secrecy."
Learn to apologize.
Why having a growth mindset is crucial to your family's well-being.
We'll discuss why we need to teach our kids to fail.
We will break down the practice of "secrecy" (and no..it's not about keeping secrets from one another).
We'll talk about all things apologies and how to avoid the tricky "I"m sorry" traps.
