4 Steps to Success TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO SET GOALS
This new year, teach your children how to set healthy, achievable goals.
FOCUS ON KEEPING IT SMALL. If you want to encourage your child to achieve their goals, then create smaller tasks that teach them the value of finishing something. For example, start and complete an arts and crafts project or game together to show your little one the value of finishing what they start. Then, slowly work your way up to the big goal. Maybe that’s cleaning their room without unnecessary detours or finishing their homework on time. FINALLY, CELEBRATE! This is important. Acknowledge the wins that both you and your child have throughout the year. For example, if they want to be a better reader, celebrate whenever they finish a book. This will encourage them to keep going. And even if they do fail, honor their effort. Remind them that putting in the effort, regardless of the outcome, is powerful, too.
START BY SHARING YOUR GOALS. Without even realizing it, children often mimic the actions of the adults around them. So, share your goals with your child, and explain how you plan to achieve these goals. Then ask your child to do the same. It can be as big as moving up three grade levels in reading or as small as beating a video game. Foster these ideas within your child so they will set one of their goals and have a positive experience when they achieve it. CREATE NEXT STEPS TOGETHER. If you want to have more energy in the new year, what steps will you take to achieve that goal? Ask your child to consider the same question in regard to their objectives. If their goal is to finish a certain video game, how will they improve their current game play? What can they do to earn more video game time? Are there learning tools that can help them accomplish this? Teach them that achieving a goal is about so much more than desire; you have to put in the work to accomplish it, too!

Zantac is one of the most popular over-the-counter medications in the country — with millions of people using it to relieve heartburn symptoms and chest pain. However, it’s also a potential cancer risk. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a recall of Zantac along with all other medications using its active ingredient, ranitidine.

conditions have been linked to the use of Zantac, such as hepatitis, cardiac arrhythmia, skin rashes, hair loss, and reduced platelet levels.
Millions of people have used Zantac for years — oblivious to the risks — and some users are now suffering from cancer that the drug may have caused. Zantac’s manufacturer, Sanofi, was responsible for ensuring that their customers wouldn’t suffer injuries from using their product, and they failed to meet that responsibility. At this time, we don’t know how long this dangerous chemical has been contaminating a product that millions of people use every day. Nor do we know how many people have suffered severe health problems as a result. Justice and financial compensation could be within reach if you or a loved one were diagnosed with cancer after using Zantac. Call DeWitt Law Firm today for a free consultation.
