As adults New Year is the time to make resolutions. You know the ones – get fit, loose weight, get organised, learn something new. Wouldn’t it be great if, when they grow up, our kids didn’t have to make those resolutions because they had integrated all of those things into their lifestyle from a young age?
That’s where we come in as parents. Lets instil a joy of learning so that our kids are always on the look out for new exciting ways to enhance their lives, things that we have to work at when we are older. Never will our children have to resolve to get fit, learn a language, get organised or learn a new skill – it will be part of who they are all year round!
