Topic by Teresa Johnson of Defiance County– New Year’s resolutions aren’t just for adults. 4-H members can also benefit from making a new year’s resolution ANY time of the year. Resolutions should always be discussed in a positive way. For example, saying “I’m going to do this…” instead of “I’m going to STOP doing this…”. Change takes time, effort, and patience. Be sure to choose something that is both achievable and specific. Stick with it – it typically takes at least 3 weeks to shift into a new way of doing something, but it can take much longer. Find a way to make it 4-H Fun!
