Empowering Tots to Teens With Goals

They're never too young, and it's never too late to teach kids how to set -- and achieve -- goals! But does it make any real difference?

Yes! Specifically, goals empower kids in two key areas:

  1. Self-awareness. When a person sets a goal, they become more attuned to their desires, fears, beliefs about themselves and others, and their character.
  2. Intentionality. Rather than living by default, having goals teaches a person to live with intentionality -- to ponder and plan.

Sounds pretty good, huh?!

Today we dive into not only setting goals but -- and this is often overlooked -- developing strategies to achieve goals!

Learn how to apply the principles Nehemiah models whether it's to engage kids in

  • making dinner time less chaotic
  • creating a party or vacation or family event that is enjoyable for everyone
  • making decisions about college & career

Whether you're in the throes of college visits or toddler trials, training your kids to use goals is worthwhile! The principles apply to toddlers saving money or earning stickers and to teens deciding what direction they want to take after high school.
