We can hardly believe that the new year is just around the corner! It is no secret that 2022 has been filled with a lot of ups and a lot of downs. As we prepare to ring in 2023, many families are looking for refreshment, restoration, and a refocus on the things that matter most. There\u2019s no better time than the new year to set some new goals as a family. Doing this will kick off your year with good intentions and hopefully help make everyone feel excited and expectant for the new year that\u2019s ahead of us. Here are some great ideas for family goals to set as we ring in another new year:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Weekly Bible Verse\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

There\u2019s no better way to start a new heat than with God\u2019s word! Not only will it be beneficial for the adults in your family but also for children of all ages. We encourage you to pick a <\/span>weekly Bible verse<\/span><\/a> that your family can read, memorize, and recite throughout the entire week. Not only will this help you all to keep God\u2019s word in your hearts but it will also be a constant encouragement to each of you! Post the verse somewhere where everyone can see it and be reminded of it every day. Say it in the car on the way to school and work, talk about what it means at the dinner table each night, and repeat it as everyone is winding down for bed. You\u2019ll be amazed at how much this encourages every family member!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Family Dinners<\/b><\/h4>\n

It seems simple enough to include family dinners in your yearly family goals but it\u2019s not hard for this habit to fall by the wayside. Busy schedules filled with work and school and extracurricular activities can cause family dinners to be far and few between. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to set an intentional goal around having them! Different things will work for different families. Whether it\u2019s committing to twice a week or four times a week, it\u2019s important to start somewhere. Connections, good conversations, and quality time happen at the family dinner table. It\u2019s amazing how just an hour gathered around the same table, enjoying the same meal can cause unity and connection within a family. This goal is sure to bring everyone a little bit closer this year!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bedtime Stories<\/b><\/h4>\n

We\u2019re always big supporters of more reading! A great way to implement reading more books within your family is to set a bedtime story goal. Pick a certain amount of nights a week that you, as the parent, will commit to reading a bedtime book with your kids. If you have children old enough to read to themselves or who have outgrown being read to, have them set a goal for the number of pages they read a night. Before you know it, you\u2019ll realize that you\u2019ve read a ton of books as a family this year. Not only will it be great to practice for your little one\u2019s reading skills but it\u2019s also a great way to bond and create memories together!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chore Charts<\/b><\/h4>\n

Every parent said \u201camen\u201d! Chore charts are a great thing to add to your list of family goals. Not only are they a great way to teach discipline and routine, but they\u2019ll also keep things around the house much more organized throughout the year. Make the chore chart fun! Use colors and stickers to make it more appealing, especially for your younger kids. If you need a little extra motivation for your kids, use incentives like snacks, outings, or even a little allowance. This goal will be a gift that keeps on giving all year round!<\/span><\/p>\n
