Let’s kick off the New Year with some 2025 Goal Setting. As many adults do, they look forward to the next year and create some goals for themselves. This year, we thought it would be a fun activity to include the children in some goal setting.
Goal Setting for Our Family
When we created a template for our goal setting this year, we included setting goals individually and as a family.
We set three different areas for our children to create their dreams for the year. Our first section was about things they would like to learn this year. The second section was geared toward more family goals but not necessarily goals for our family but rather, how we can work together as a family. The last section was built to let them dream. What new things would they like to try this year?
After letting them dream as individuals, we sat down and dreamed as a family. Anything exciting we want to do together? How can we keep our household running smoothly? Do we have any dreams for each other?
