Resolutions

I will clean up my toys
I will brush my teeth twice a day, and wash my hands after going to the
bathroom and before eating
I won’t tease dogs — even friendly ones. I will avoid being bitten by keeping
my fingers and face away from their mouths
I will drink milk and water, and limit soda and fruit drinks
I will apply sunscreen before I go outdoors. I will try to stay in the shade
whenever possible and wear a hat and sunglasses
I will try to find a sport (like basketball or soccer) 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 always wear a helmet when bicycling
I will wear my seat belt every time I get in 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 nice to other kids. I’ll be friendly to kids who need friends — like
someone who is shy, or is new to my school
I will take care of my body through physical activity and nutrition
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 wipe negative «self talk» (i.e. «I can’t do it» or «I'm so dumb»
) out of my vocabulary
When I feel angry or stressed out, I will take a break and find constructive
ways to deal with the stress, such as exercising, reading, writing in a journal
or discussing my problem with a parent or friend
When faced with a difficult decision, I will talk with an adult about my choices
I will be careful about whom I choose to date, and always treat the other
person with respect and without coercion or violence
I will eat at least one fruit and one vegetable every day
Happy New Year
