New Year's Resolutions
It's that time of year when everyone is talking about their New Year's Resolution. Students will be learning about setting SMART goals during guidance. When making a goal, it needs to be more specific than "I will behave better" or "I will read more." The goal should be a specific action or event and should be measurable. Make sure the goal is achievable and realistic based on current performance. Finally, set a time frame to complete the goal.
An online article from The American Academy of Pediatrics (12/8/14), titled Healthy New Year's Resolutions for Kids has some great suggestions. Some goals for elementary aged students include: "I will drink reduced-fat milk and water every day and drink soda and fruit drinks only at special times." "I will never encourage or watch bullying and will tell an adult when I see it happen."
You can even set the same goal for every member in your family such as "I will walk or run three times a week for 30 minutes." "I will eat two servings of fruits and vegetables every day." Make sure you state each goal as a positive statement, avoiding the words not or don't. Write your goals down and post them for everyone to see as a reminder. This also helps to keep each other accountable.
