Share your Goals.
If your child does not have any goals, you can start by sharing your own adult goals with them.
You might be surprised to learn that your child or teen is interested in your aims and long-term plans.
If you are a stay-at-home-parent, you can share your own aims of raising happy, healthy children or your volunteer work (if you do any).
Sharing and supporting each others’ goals is one way to motivate your child to set his or her own goals.
