#NotAResolution: ‘In 2026, I Plan To Raise Happy, Healthy Kids — While Continuing My Career’ |
The start of a new year often comes with big resolutions, many of which quietly fade by February. Through Better India Goals 2026, we’re doing things differently. This series brings together personal, practical goals set by our team — rooted in lived experiences, not perfection. These are intentions shaped by real lives, evolving challenges, and the hope that small, consistent changes can lead to a better year for ourselves and those around us.
Parenting is exhausting, overwhelming, surprising, and at times shocking too.
These are often the first words parents use when they speak about raising a child. But this New Year, what if we chose to shift the narrative?
I became a mother in 2019. I was young, full of energy, and completely clueless about what the next day would look like. Through conversations with other mothers my age, one thing became clear — everyone was just figuring it out as they went along. But there were a few who didn’t freak out as much as I did. And their secret mantra? One day at a time.
Six years and two children later, this idea continues to guide me. Here are a few parenting goals I have set for myself for 2026. They come from lived experience and may help other parents move through this journey with a little more ease.
Yes, our kids love........
