Top 10 Habits Your Family Needs to Break

It’s a funny thing about habits—they have consequences whether they’re good or bad for us. Form a good habit and it pays good dividends. Drag around a bad habit, though, and you’ll eventually reap some bad outcomes.

Whether it’s about the food on your plate or the way you spend your time or money, it’s up to you to help your family form good habits, and kick the bad ones out the door! We’ve put together a list of 10 Negative Habits Your Family Needs to Kick (including a tip from iSpecialist Dr. Greg Smalley on stopping sibling rivalry) to help you identify trouble spots and start moving in the right direction. Use our You Can Do It! chart to check off each day’s progress.

If there are several areas where you need improvement, don’t be overwhelmed! Start with one habit and  remember—repetition is key to forming a new habit to take the place of the old ones, so stay with it until it starts feeling natural!  And when your family does break a bad habit, celebrate!
