Short and long term goals for children
Learning to set goals is an important part of growing up. From building resilience to gaining confidence, teaching children how to set goals is a key part of achieving success both inside and outside the classroom. Goal setting offers motivation and helps us direct our energy towards ambitions that are important to us. However, we sometimes set goals that seem too big or nearly impossible to achieve. As parents, we want to help our children set realistic and achievable goals, but it is also important that we don’t neglect all the small steps it takes to reach the end goal. This blog explores the differences between short and long-term goals, and how you can help your child set achievable goals.
