New Year\u2019s Resolutions"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A new year and a new you \u2013 it\u2019s a phrase we commonly hear when the new year is right around the corner. While fitness and diet might be most common for parents, for your children, you may want to consider setting some educational goals that you\u2019d like to help them achieve in and outside of school.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to help your child set both long and short term goals. When doing so, it is important to understanding your child\u2019s unique capabilities and pace. Setting realistic goals will help them believe they can accomplish what has been set out. Here\u2019s how you can ensure their New Year\u2019s resolutions are achieved:<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 450px;\" src=\"\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-set-and-keep-new-years-resolutions-pinterest.jpeg\" alt=\"math tips - how to set and keep new years resolutions\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Observe The Present<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-years-resolution-observe-the-present.jpeg\" alt=\"new years resolutions - observe the present\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Understanding how your child is doing in and outside of school is the first step. Grades and feedback on your child\u2019s report card is one indication but think about the habits you\u2019ve observed at home when your child has been studying. What subjects did they spend more time on? Did any cause frustration? The way your child has approached different subject matter at home is a good indication of their knowledge and level of comfort.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Identify The Priorities<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-years-resolution-identify-priorities.jpeg\" alt=\"new years resolution - identify the priorities\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you figure out how and where your child can improve, discuss how you will help them achieve this by setting clear goals. Whether that means improving their math grades or reading at a higher level, it is important to outline steps and an end goal. Write it down so you and your child don\u2019t forget, and feel committed. Make it fun by putting it out on a homemade resolutions card or new calendar that your child has picked out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Establish a Routine<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-years-resolution-establish-routines.jpeg\" alt=\"new years resolution - establish a routine\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you have goals and steps written out, establish a routine to achieve results. Indicate what needs to be done on a daily basis and make sure there is both time and energy to keep up with this routine. Reward key milestones by getting a new book or enjoying a tasty treat!<\/p>\n<p>These three tips should help you gain a better understanding of what can be done and how to get there. Through careful observation, identification of priorities and establishing routine, you\u2019ll watch your child\u2019s resolutions become achieved goals throughout 2017!\u00a0As always, feel free to join the conversation in the comments section below.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><em>Kumon can also help you understand where your child stands academically, figure out their learning priorities and establish the routine needed to succeed. <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/ca-en\/attend-parent-orientation?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Referral&amp;utm_campaign=CA%20blog%20PO\"><em>Schedule a parent orientation session<\/em><\/a><em> to find out more.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Setting New Year\u2019s resolutions is easy,&nbsp;keeping them is the hard part.
