Set New Year's Resolutions As A Family
The holidays are a time to celebrate and reflect on the previous year, and to look forward to the year to come! The following New Year's resolutions from the YMCA of Central Kentucky encourage families to commit to spending more time together in 2010 by creating fun and healthy family resolutions.
1. Prepare and eat meals as a family
Start with sitting down as a family for one meal a week, and if this is something that already happens in your home, aim for a meal together every day. Studies have shown that kids who regularly eat with their parents are less likely to be overweight. They get better grades, have stronger self-esteem and enjoy better peer relationships during adolescence.
2. Volunteer as a family
It's never too soon to teach children about the importance of giving. Find a volunteer opportunity that the entire family would enjoy-clean your neighborhood park or volunteer at your community food bank.
3. Learn something new as a family
The New Year is the time for new beginnings! Decide as a family to try something that you've always wanted to do - learn how to golf, ski, or take pottery classes! Visit
www.healthyfamilyhome.org
for monthly ideas.
4. Create healthy family traditions around the holidays
Set aside time as a family during the holidays to enjoy one another: plan a winter wonderland family fun day, walk together after holiday meals, share your proudest accomplishment from the year and talk about the family goals for the New Year.
5. Play Every Day!!
Incorporate physical activity into your daily routines, spend more time outdoors, walk places instead of driving, play musical chairs at the start of a meal, or visit any YMCA of Central Kentucky branch.
