    Here is a kid-friendly list of 50 small Pachchakhān / Pratyākhyān ideas for children below 16. These are simple daily habits, not strict advanced vows. A child can choose a few and take them sincerely with parents’ guidance.

    2. I will say 3 Navkars when I wake up.
    3. I will bow to Jinshāsan every day.
    4. I will not eat until I remember Arihants and Gurus.
    5. I will feed birds before my meal whenever possible.

    26. I will take only as much food as I can finish.

    43. I will keep my hands and body clean before prayers.
    44. I will sit quietly during pratikraman / prayers.
    45. I will not distract others during religious time.
    46. I will fast from one bad habit for a day, like arguing or wasting time.
    47. I will not eat extra snacks without need.
    48. I will avoid hurting my own body with careless behavior.
    49. I will remember that all जीव are living souls.
    50. I will try to become more gentle, truthful, and disciplined every day.

    Very simple kid-style daily Pachchakhān examples

    You can also make them into short personal pledges like:

    • “I will say 11 Navkars before eating.”
    • “I will feed birds before breakfast.”
    • “I will not hurt any living being today.”
    • “I will speak kindly all day.”
    • “I will not waste water today.”
    • “I will help one person today.”
    • “I will remember Lord Mahāvīr before sleep.”

    Important note

    For children, the best vows are:
    • small
    • easy to follow
    • done with joy
    • not forced
    • taken with parents’ guidance

    If you want, I can also make this into:

    1. a Gujarati list, or
    2. a formal “I will…” Pachchakhān format for kids to recite daily.
