Do Your Kids Have THIS “Super Power?”

No matter how often we set them for ourselves, not all parents remember that goal-setting is a skill that we  may need to share with our kids.

If you stop and think about it, goal-setting is one of the “success super powers” for sure! Yet, as important as this skill is, nobody is born knowing how to set goals.

That’s where it pays to be S.M.A.R.T.

The letters stand for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely…. AND a great way to remember all of the steps to creating useful goals.

And you don’t have to rely exclusively on your own experience with setting and achieving goals.  Social science research tells us that there is a correlation between reaching goals & personal fulfillment.

Having the skills to choose what we want to accomplish and ability to get the job done helps people feel good about themselves.   And that’s a great gift to give someone you love.
