E25: New Year's Resolutions with Children

The Speckled Bees: A Celebration of Childhood

Goals, resolutions, and ‘fresh starts’ are words we use to welcome the symbolic new year on a bright note. How can we translate these ideas for children to start their own new year with a fresh face? We talk about the goals we have, how to set up successful goals (we review SMART goals, of course), and the benefits of goal setting for children. Don't forget that goal setting IS MUCH HARDER WITH YOUNGER CHILDREN. Therefore, it takes a lot of modeling, conversation, and teamwork to create a positive and successful experience.
We are taking a little break during January, so we will meet up with y'all again in February, 2022!
