| SET NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS AS A FAMILY | |
|
The New Year is a time for new beginnings and for many to set goals that make them stronger in spirit, mind and body. For the Y, one of the most important resolutions is to build or maintain family connectedness. Below are five things the Y recommends families do to be healthier and stronger throughout the year:
- Eat Together - Sitting down for a meal together is a great time for parents to talk with their children, helping the family become more connected with one another. Set aside time for the family to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner at least once a week or every day if scheduling permits.
- Volunteer - Giving back and supporting neighbors benefits everyone involved. It helps develop new relationships and teaches children and teens the value of helping others. Find an opportunity in your community that the entire family may enjoy, such as cleaning your neighborhood park or distributing food at a local food bank.
- Learn Something New- Step out of your comfort zone, have fun and grow by exploring personal interests. Try something new together that you've always wanted to do, like pottery making or camping.
- Start a New Tradition - Traditions are an excellent way to create activities that bring families together. Talk with each other to discover common interests and then create an activity everyone can participate in weekly, monthly or yearly.
- Be Active - It's important to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day. Incorporate physical activity into your daily routines and spend more time walking places instead of driving improve your health and well-being. The Y offers many fun opportunities for families to be active together.
