New Year’s<br />
Resolutions<br />
for Children<br />
and Teens<br />
With the New Year upon<br />
us, parents have asked me to<br />
help them with New Year’s<br />
resolutions for their children.<br />
Let me offer a few suggestions<br />
to ring in the new year.<br />
Infants should resolve to<br />
sleep on their backs, which<br />
helps to prevent sudden unexpected<br />
infant death. And they<br />
should keep unsafe items out<br />
of their mouths.<br />
Toddlers and preschoolers<br />
should brush their teeth twice<br />
a day and wash their hands<br />
after using the bathroom and<br />
before eating. They should<br />
help clean up any messes they<br />
might have created while<br />
playing. They should also<br />
resolve to be nice to other<br />
children and to pets.<br />
School age children might<br />
resolve to try new foods and<br />
to limit the amount of soda<br />
and sugary fruit drinks they<br />
drink. Instead, they can drink<br />
reduced-fat milk or water at<br />
least three times every day.<br />
They should also find a physical<br />
activity they enjoy and<br />
resolve to do it at least three<br />
times a week. (And they<br />
should remember to wear a<br />
helmet if that activity is bicycling,<br />
skiing or snowboarding.)<br />
Both children and infants<br />
need to resolve to always be<br />
restrained properly in a car<br />
safety seat. This means a rearfacing<br />
infant seat before the<br />
age of 2 or a booster seat up<br />
to at least age 8.<br />
All children should insist<br />
on being read to or reading to<br />
themselves each and every<br />
day. They should also resolve<br />
to always tell an adult about<br />
bullying that they see or hear<br />
about.<br />
Teens and older children<br />
should remember never to<br />
give out personal information<br />
on the internet. And they<br />
should resolve to limit their<br />
recreational screen time to<br />
1-2 hours per day.<br />
Teens should also resolve<br />
to engage in healthy activities<br />
rather than consider the use<br />
of drugs or alcohol. Healthy<br />
behaviors include sports,<br />
exercise, music or art. They<br />
should never use a cell phone<br />
or text while driving or even<br />
riding a bicycle. And teens<br />
should talk to their parents or<br />
other trusted adults if they or<br />
their friends are stressed or<br />
considering risky choices.<br />
While old acquaintance<br />
may be forgot, hopefully your<br />
children will not forget these<br />
resolutions. Here’s to a terrific<br />
2018 for them and for<br />
your entire family.<br />
