New Year Resolutions

We publish some New Year Resolutions which might help you to be good and happy children.

I will drink reduced-fat milk and water every day, and drink soda and fruit drinks only at special times.

I will always wear a helmet when riding a bike.

I will wear my seat belt every time I get into a car. I'll sit in the back seat and use a booster seat until I am tall enough to use a lap/shoulder seat belt.

I'll be friendly to other children who may have a hard time making friends by asking them to join activities such as sports or games.

I will try to find a sport (like basketball or badminton) or an activity (like playing tag, jumping rope, dancing or riding my bike) that I like and do it at least three times a week!I will try to talk with my parent or a trusted adult when I have a problem or feel stressed.

I will never encourage or even watch bullying, and will join with others in telling bullies to stop.

I promise to follow our household rules for video games and internet use.

I will try to eat two servings of fruit and two servings of vegetables every day.

I will take care of my body through physical activity and eating the right types and amounts of foods.

I will choose non-violent television shows and video games, and I will spend only one to two hours each day - at the most - on these activities.

I will help out in my community - through giving some of my time to help others, working with community groups or by joining a group that helps people in need.

When I feel angry or stressed out, I will take a break and find helpful ways to deal with the stress, such as exercising, reading, writing in a journal or talking about my problem with a parent or friend.

When faced with a difficult decision, I will talk about my choices with an adult whom I can trust.

When I notice my friends are struggling, being bullied or making risky choices, I will talk with a trusted adult and attempt to find a way that I can help them.

I will always treat the other person with respect and without forcing them to do something or using violence. I will expect to be treated the same way in return.
