Caden Teneycke describes a New Year's resolution as decision or promise that people make that they plan to do or keep for the whole year. They might decide to stop a bad habit or start a good habit. Different cultures and ancient peoples celebrate and celebrated New Years at different times and in different ways. but they all celebrated it as a renewal, leaving the bad behind and starting the new with better intentions.

It is not New Years and so I made two Summer Solstice resolutions.

• I Will wipe all the negative self talk ('I can't do it' or 'I am so dumb') and also I won't mumble bad words under my breath about myself or anyone else.

• When faced with a difficult decision, I will talk with an adult about my choices.
