Setting Realistic Goals in the New Year
The start of the new year is a popular time to set new goals or find new motivation for every member of the family. Children and youth can get used to staying within their comfort zone to ensure success. The great thing about setting goals is that we learn to reach, and we strive for something new.
Kidcentral tn recommends the following to help your children and family set goals in the new year:
- Choose realistic goals
- Just out of reach goals are okay
- Set a specific goal
- Break it down
- Checkpoints are important
- Make goal setting a family effort
- Applaud your child’s efforts
