Kids’ new year’s resolutions
CHILDREN should not be left out of the age-old tradition of New Year’s resolutions, which encourage individuals to stay true to a list of commitments that they hope will positively influence various aspects of their life.
Below, kids who acknowledged that they will be depending on their parents to help them with becoming better individuals, shared all they hope to achieve this year:

This year, I want to be more thankful for all the things I have that other children don’t. I want to stop being so picky and selfish with my toys because my mother did not raise me that way and it makes her sad when I act like that. I want to make my mother happy every day.
