As we say goodbye to another year, New Year’s Eve offers a wonderful opportunity to reflect on what we’ve accomplished as a family and set intentions for the year ahead. For children, this can be a chance to think about their own experiences and how they want to grow in the coming year.
Why Reflections Matter for Kids:
- Encourages Gratitude: Talk about favorite memories from the past year and things they’re thankful for.
- Builds Confidence: Highlight their achievements, big or small, to boost their self-esteem.
- Teaches Self-Awareness: Help them identify areas they want to improve or learn more about.
Fun Reflection Activity:
Create a “Memory Jar” for 2025. Decorate a jar together and encourage kids to write down their favorite moments throughout the year. On the next New Year’s Eve, open the jar and reflect on all the good times!
