  • Focus on the Positive Side: If your child has had a resolution list last year which he failed to work on regularly, do not nag him about the same. That will only bring his morale down to work on another list for which he might be really excited. You can instead shine a light on the positive aspects and help him build a list of things which he really is keen to do. Be it cycling every evening or eating one or two fruits every single day, give him a helping hand that will encourage him.
  • Let Your Child Choose: New Year's resolution should be your child's personal interest as only then he will feel committed to working on it. If you keep forcing him various tasks that don't pique his interest, he will never be able to follow the list willingly. Even though you know what works best for your child and you recognize his areas that require improvement, you must not force him. Instead, give him a couple of suggestions and he can pick up the ones which he finds it interesting to do. But you must also not force your interest in his list and rather make your own.
  • Keep the List Visible: Once your child has made his brand new resolution list, make sure he always keeps it in sight. Because once it goes out of sight, it will soon go out of mind. Everyday places such as cupboards and drawers can be used to stick the list so that your child can read it every day and knows he has to follow it for his betterment.
  • Keep it Short and Sweet: A number of people write a whole bunch of items on the list when they are overwhelmed which makes it impossible for them to follow every day. Thus, you can make sure that the resolution list of your child is limited to certain significant things that he can follow every day without fuss. Having a number of things on the list makes it tough for one to cope up with.
  • Make a Tradition Out of It: Nothing can be easier than encouraging your child to follow the list by making it a family tradition. Your entire family can sit down and write their New Year's resolution list and make sure to follow the same regularly. This will also be your way on how to convince children's make New Year resolution.

You can also be helping students ideate their New Year's resolution list by pointing out to their weaker subjects and enabling them to work hard on it every day, thus, excelling in them at the end. Since New Year is around the corner, it is time that you start preparing your New Year's resolution list and also help your child with the same.
