You are your children’s role model for almost everything, including following through on New Year’s resolutions. So, ask yourself if you follow through on your own resolutions. When you proclaim that you will read more books or finally get a gym membership, do you actually try to do it? Your kids will assign as much importance to New Year’s resolutions as you do, so by sticking to your own commitments, you can help them stay on track too.

traditions, and parents often have a desire for their kids to take part in that tradition when they’re old enough. Following through on resolutions is tough, especially for young children, but with your help, they can achieve their goals.
When your kids are forming their resolutions, their first attempts will probably be very broad. Statements like “I want to be more kind” or “I will try to help more around the house” incorporate good values but don’t
CANCEROUS BABY POWDER
Is Johnson & Johnson Liable?
Johnson & Johnson products have been revered as household staples for decades, especially for children. But despite their raw talc and finished powders testing positive for asbestos, Johnson & Johnson has remained a legally manipulative company for over 40 years. Documents from 1974 reveal that Johnson & Johnson’s executives, doctors, and lawyers were fully aware that their baby powder could cause ovarian cancer, but they failed to warn consumers of the health risks. This was and continues to be a deliberate betrayal of the consumer. There are several baby powders that feature a warning, including brands from Walmart and Dollar Tree; however, Johnson & Johnson’s products do not. Thousands of lawsuits are opening against the corporation — and for good reason. There’s just too much evidence to suggest that they hadn’t simply “forgotten” a warning label. One piece of evidence comes from the Cosmetic Industry Review (CIR). The CIR is a group that studies “individual chemical compounds” and works closely with the FDA, cosmetics industry, and consumers to ensure safe products. Two individuals from CIR accepted payments from Johnson & Johnson “for speeches and other engagements.” The former CIR director, Alan Andersen, a defense witness, was forced to admit the financial relationship between the CIR and Johnson & Johnson, which has strengthened the defenses’ cases. But one of the strongest pieces of evidence came from defense witness Dr. Douglas Weed, a senior Johnson & Johnson epidemiologist. In a North Carolina trial, plaintiffs’ attorneys were able to prove the doctor had lied under oath about whether he retained notes to his expert report. Allen Smith, a plaintiff attorney who tried five of these trials in Missouri, remarks, “This was new evidence that proved very compelling to the jury as well as a reflection of J&J’s willingness to manipulate the trial process in their favor.” This evidence doesn’t just benefit past cases, but future lawsuits as well.
