New Year's resolutions are promises to ourselves to make an effort towards a goal we find to be truly important. Being a father is so important to a child, what better resolution than to commit to a fatherhood goal? Here are some ideas to get you started.1. Take care of yourself - To be a dad takes a lot of energy. Commit to yourself to be healthy. Simple steps could be achieved with a smart app that guides physical fitness goals. You could also join a gym if you have the time. Eating healthy is another worthy goal. Just a few simple steps can give you increased energy and stamina.
2. Increase time spent with your children - Every dad is different when it comes to custody, and time spent with their children. Set a goal for yourself to increase your time with the kids by 10 percent. You will be amazed how much your kids will appreciate it.
3. Start a new tradition - New year...New traditions. Kids love anything that you do that builds on traditions. Join a club, have a board game night, or just make a new event that kids look forward to every week.
4. Increase time spent outdoors - Screen time is always a battle for parents. Get the kids off the Ipads and outside to play. Each season has a reason to play outdoors. Get out there and play with the kids.
5. Quit bad habits. If you smoke, quit. Social habits such as drinking or recreation drug use are also a problem. Other bad habits include procrastination, making a promise you can not keep, and money management. Turn a negative into a positive. You can do it!
Hopefully this list will get you started on a few new habits. No matter what you choose to do, remember your kids are always watching dad. What they learn can be a lifelong lesson, so choose wisely.
