First Resolution: To examine actions
This year, help your children understand their actions, introspect, and to think twice before making any decision. Teach them to speak to themselves in front of the mirror and to motivate and empower themselves. Tell them to maintain a journal or a diary and note down the events of the day, so that they can later have a look to be able to differentiate about the times now and how they were before and draw better conclusions out of it. In this way, the realization will dawn early and they will learn to be more mature at a young age.
