New Year’s Resolutions at The Solel Preschool

templesolel Community

New Year’s Resolutions are an interesting  way to start the year fresh. 2020 was an interesting and unusual year. Here are some suggestion to help you help your child get 2021  off to the best start ever. 

Setting goals is an important part of your preschool child’s  early development. Making commitments teaches children  how to be responsible and creating resolutions together  can be a great way to start good habits from a young age. 

Try sitting down with your child and talking to them about  how New Year can be an exciting time for growth and  change. Letting your child come up with their own ideas is  an opportunity for family bonding in a fun and exciting way. 

Encourage your preschooler to set some resolutions and  then evaluate the options to come up with the most  specific and achievable choices. Remember to keep things  positive too – challenges that start with “I am going to…”  are much more positive than saying “I am going to stop…” 

Here are a few ideas that are perfect for preschool children  to help you get started. Remember to always do what  works for your family. 

I am going to eat more healthy foods. 

To help your child along, limit any junk food that comes in  your house and try to introduce at least two fruits or  vegetables into every meal. Making better food choices is  an important lesson for preschool children to learn. Snacks  are not only a way to stave off cravings between meals but  a means of introducing your child to new textures and  tastes. Some examples would be rainbow fruit kebabs,  cucumber sandwiches with cheese or meat filling, healthy  smoothies (blueberries, pomegranate juice, wheat germ,  almonds, and avocado). 

I will help tidy my room and brush my teeth before bed.
This could include putting away toys or picking up clothes  and shoes. 

I will always do my best.
Encourage your child to always give it everything they’ve  got. If things don’t always work the first time, don’t worry. 

I will be nice to my family and friends.
Encourage kindness and harmony at home. This is a goal  that can apply to everyone in the family. 

Children feel good when their parents acknowledge their  accomplishments. Go over the list of resolutions a few  times during the year and acknowledge the successes and  talk about what resolutions still need more attention. The  praise will help them develop self-regulating behaviors and  improve their self-esteem. Remember a resolution is a  guide, so be flexible and understanding if your child is  making an effort.  

The Solel Preschool will be opening enrollment for the 2021 -2022 school year the first full week of January. We offer  low ratios, warm and caring teachers, exceptional  enrichment programming (COVID protocol permitting), and  a community for your whole family. Temple Solel members  are allowed to register first and classes fill up quickly, so if  you are interested, get your registration in early. Visit  solelpreschool.org to register for the 2021-2022 school  year.
