Have you made a resolution this New Year to help your family get healthier?
Great!
Here are a few tips to help you and your children succeed:
Take it slow. It's tempting to turn your lives upside down in the name of good health. The problem is that most people who make New Year resolutions, have long forgotten about them by February. It's much easier to make changes that stick when you make them slowly, one at a time.
Get everyone involved. It's hard to make changes if the rules only apply to half the household. Be consistent throughout the house and get everyone on board.
Reward yourselves. Set goals for you and your family, and plan a family reward when you achieve them. Decide something fun to do as a group, and you'll have great motivation to stick with your program.
