Encourage Your Children to Set Goals
Children should be taught to set goals for themselves of what they want their future to hold. Encourage them to set some goals of things they would like to do or accomplish. Give them time to think about some goals and write them down. Then discuss steps they can take to accomplish their goals. This will help them understand how important goals are and the steps necessary to attain them. If their goal is to be the star player on the soccer or basketball team, then they will see how hard they must practice and train to become that star. If they set goals for themselves and work toward attaining them, they will have purpose and direction in life, and will be more supportive of you in the attainment of your goals.
