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
 Ten, nine, eight, seven, six
 Five, four, three, two, one
 Happy New Year
