26 New Year’s Resolutions Every Parent Hopes Their Toddler Will Embrace
As the new year approaches, parents often dream of what resolutions their little ones might make—resolutions that would make life just a tad easier! Here are 26 whimsical yet relatable resolutions that every parent secretly wishes their toddler would adopt.
- Get more sleep and limit couch nose-wiping activities.
- Keep my toys tidy. Farewell, chaotic bins of toys!
- Accept that sharp objects, pens, and loose coins aren’t suitable for my current stage of life.
- Improve my relationships—be kinder to familiar faces and maybe a little less accommodating to strangers.
- While I love playing in public restrooms, I’ll aim to touch fewer surfaces in five minutes.
- Break free from my obsession with the remote control. It’s been a rocky relationship, and I’m leaving it behind!
- Stop stressing about the little things. Broccoli with mashed potatoes? Yum! Toys arranged differently? A new decor style!
- Be mindful of my carbon footprint. Step one: leave the toilet paper roll alone; it’s not a confetti maker!
- Boost my productivity! First goal for 2016: cut down pants-wearing time from 28 to 14 minutes.
- Discover a new hobby! Must meet criteria: solo-friendly, affordable, and no endless collecting of parts.
- Master a new skill: aiming! Puke in the bucket, food in my mouth, and pee in the toilet.
- Stop comparing myself to older kids. No more tantrums when I can’t be carried inside like my baby sibling.
- Embrace the seasons. Winter coat? Yes! Summer sunscreen? Absolutely!
- Work on my style. Less syrup in my hair and more matching socks, please.
- Try to ignore my superpower that wakes me up at dawn when Mom and Dad are a bit tired.
- Face my fears—doctors, owls, nighttime noises, and long tooth brushing sessions.
- Understand that not all mail is for me.
- Be a better sharer. Goodbye, solo playtime with toy food!
- Ponder some of life’s big questions, like where does all my mess go?
- Improve my diet. Can I really survive on only macaroni and cheese?
- Learn to appreciate our nice things without drawing on them with crayons.
- Cultivate patience. If 2016 isn’t about achieving the impossible, I don’t know what is!
- Rethink my response to “no.” The whole breath-holding thing didn’t work out for me last year.
- Break the habit of changing the dishwasher setting to rinse only. It’s too fun to resist!
- Cut down on the “why” questions I ask daily.
- Work on my trust issues. When my parents say to avoid spontaneous tag games in parking lots, I’ll listen.
On a personal note, I might just go for a juice cleanse, as my current diet consists of 99 percent almond croissant. Sounds like something my toddler would want too—juice for days while skipping my cooking!
