With the end of a year we tend to look back at the past and see how good we were as parents. As we tend to reflect upon our parenting instances, we plan to set certain resolutions for the next year. However, to be on track you need to ensure your resolutions are realistic. In spite of the best of our intentions, we often fail to fulfil our resolutions, as they appear too challenging.

Here we have shared 10 parenting resolutions that you may find realistic and easy to stick to. Take a look:

1. Spend More Quality Time with Kids

Make sure you spend more quality time with your kids this year. It is important that you spend time with your kids doing things together.

2. Learn to Say “No”

Being a parent is not an easy task. It is absolutely normal to feel overwhelmed at times. The best way to handle stress is to say "no" once in a while. Being a parent does not mean saying yes to everything. It is okay to say “no” and look for help when you are too tired.

3. Ensure Child’s Safety

As parents we have a natural tendency to worry about the wellbeing of our kids. This coming year do not let the stress and worry take away your happiness. Rather than worrying, you can look for ways to enhance security of your little one.

4. Read to Children

This new year make time to read a little more. Reading to your children shall help expand their mental horizons. You can grab anything that interests your child; it can be a magazine, the paper, or an e-book.

5. Develop Habit of Writing in Children

Develop the habit of writing. You can pen down the best moments with your children. This habit shall help you appreciate life more.

6. Strengthen Parent-Child Bond

Make a point to connect to your child more this year. As she grows it becomes more important that you become her best friend. Spend as much time as you can with your child and explore new things with her. Encourage her to express her feeling and thoughts.

7. Appreciate Your Children

Take the resolution to appreciate your child whenever necessary. Make her worthy of your attention and love. Make it a point to offer less advice and come up with more questions. Children after all do not like listening to your advice all the time.

8. Stop Doing Office Work at Home

Make sure you do not bring your office home. Try not to take calls or check emails after office hours in the evening. Allow all responsibilities, hassles and tasks to melt off when you are with your child. Do not let the computer take away all your attention. Spare something for your children this year.

9. Have Healthy Food

Eat healthy and allow your kids to have whatever you are having for dinner. You cannot expect your kids to avoid eating junk when you cannot stop doing that. It is also very important to eat together. Eating together will make dinner times all the more fun for your little ones.

10. Develop Love for Nature in Kids

If you are concerned about the ecological degradation and planning to go green this year, share your thoughts with your children as well. You can encourage your kids to make greetings card made of recycled papers. Help them plant a tree. They are sure to feel more proud for the difference they make. You can also insist them to make their own birthday cards the same way.

Make double changes in your resolutions and try to stick to them all through the next year. Make sure not to repeat the parenting mistakes you had committed the last year. Remember, there is always a scope for improvement and you shall only benefit from your new year resolutions. We have shared some resolutions that you may follow. Do share with us your thoughts with us and how successfully you kept them up all through the year.
