Kids need goals just like adults. Without goals, there is nothing to achieve. If there is nothing to achieve, there is no sense in doing anything. Kids don't necessarily know how to set goals for themselves, whether they be short-term or long-term goals. And even when kids do set goals if there is no reward at the end, they tend to lose their motivation and forget about those goals they set for themselves. This is where parents come in - Teaching your kids the importance of having goals and feeling the sense of accomplishment when a goal has been reached. Goals can be contained in different categories, such as:
  • Schoolwork
  • Homework
  • Chores
  • Personal accomplishments

Once a goal has been set, you need to keep your child motivated to complete it.  Your involvement in this process depends on different factors including the age of your child, your child's disposition as a self-starter, and how important the goal is to your child's personal agenda. If a goal is not that exciting to a child, they will need your nudging to accomplish it. If your child thinks a goal is really worthwhile, they may just get it done without your persuasion.

Goals are just as important for kids as they are for adults.  You, as the parent, play a major role in teaching your child how to set and accomplish the goals in their life.  This course guides you through the goal-setting process to keep your kids motivated.
