From our friends at TrueSport.org:

Many adults associate New Year’s resolutions with abandoned aspirations instead of positive changes. For those who struggle to stick with New Year’s resolutions, it can seem illogical to promote the habit to children. However, many experts in child development recommend parents set goals with their children every New Year. Not only does it help teach the power of creating goals and following through, it can help us stay accountable to our own resolutions as part of being a good parent role model.
