Everyone wants to improve some part of their life and the New Year seems to be the perfect time to make resolutions. Many focus around getting fit, losing weight, saving money, getting organized, etc. We want to suggest that you make some Parent Engagement New Year’s Resolutions. If you wonder what that would include we have a few suggestions. If you do some of many of these already, give yourself a pat on the back. If you find a couple new ones, add those to your resolution list this New Year.
