A new year is always a unique opportunity to set goals and introduce new habits. But we also know that most people don’t stick to their new year’s resolutions. For our children, new goals for the new year can be really beneficial if they are implemented in the right way.

In this episode Dr Jennifer Katzenstein, Director of Psychology, Neuropsychology and Social Work at Johns Hopkins All Children Hospital helps us understand:

• Should we encourage our children to set goals/New Year’s resolutions? 
• What type of goals work best for New Year’s resolutions for children?
• What are some suggestions for New Year’s resolutions we can encourage our children to pursue?
