New Year 2026 Resolutions for your kids

New Year Resolutions

• I will do my best in school. I will hand in my homework on time and not wait until the night before my science fair project is due to start working on it. If I need extra help with a subject, I will ask for it or get a tutor.
  
  
• I will be careful about whom I choose to date, and always treat the other person with respect and without coercion or violence.
  
  
• I will limit the time I spend watching television and playing video games to one to two hours per day. I will stay away from shows and games that promote violence or unhealthy living. I will only watch movies that have a rating appropriate for my age group.
  
  
• I will get proper exercise. I will join sports I like such as soccer, t-ball, basketball, or volleyball. I will walk, jog, or ride a bike if it is not the season for the sport I like. When possible I will get outside and enjoy the fresh air.
  When I feel mad or stressed, I'll take a break and choose positive, constructive ways to deal, like exercising, reading, journaling or talking through problems with a friend or parent.
  
  
• When I notice my friends are struggling or engaging in risky behaviors, I will talk with a trusted adult and attempt to find a way that I can help them.
  
  
• I will try to find a sport (like basketball or soccer) or an activity (skipping rope, dancing or horse riding) that I like and do it at least three times a week!
  
  
• I will eat at least one fruit and one vegetable every day, and I will limit the amount of soda I drink. (Aim for as many different colors of fruits and vegetables as possible. Also, since many sports drinks and flavored waters contain added sugars, focus on skim milk or water.)
  
  
• I'll never give out personal information online, like my name, home address, school name or phone number – and never send a picture of myself to anyone I chat with on the computer without my mom or dad's permission.
  
  
• When I feel angry or stressed out, I will take a break and find constructive ways to deal with the stress, such as exercising, reading, writing in a journal or discussing my problem with a parent or friend.
  
  
• I will volunteer at my local church or in the neighborhood. I could give my old clothes and toys to kids in need. I could help serve dinner at a soup kitchen. I could clean the litter off the beaches or help out at an animal shelter.
  
  
• I will do my best in school. I will hand in my homework on time and not wait until the night before my science fair project is due to start working on it. If I need extra help with a subject, I will ask for it or get a tutor.
  
  
• I will work on being polite and not responding to my parent's requests with a smart tongue. I will remember my please, thank you, your welcome, and excuse me's. I will never say curse words or use the Lord's name in vain. I will show respect for my elders with my words.
  
  
• I will practice good hygiene. This includes brushing my teeth after meals, washing my hands after going to the bathroom, covering my nose and mouth when I sneeze and cough, and keeping my nails clipped and filed. Proper hygiene is important for good health.
