The Power of Failed Goals: Why Broken Resolutions Build Confidence and Capability in Children

Have you and your family made New Year resolutions?

And how many have you broken already?

I love making resolutions. It’s the highlight of my year. But statistics show that most New Year resolutions are broken, so you are not alone! However, making resolutions, even if we break them, can still be super valuable for our personal growth and in building confidence, especially in our kids.

In today’s episode I will show you how to set intentions and make realistic, achievable resolutions. I will explain how you can give yourself the best chance of succeeding, but also talk through why it’s ok to break your resolutions.

So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, have a very happy new year, and enjoy the conversation…
