Parents of the Year

77. How can we help kids set goals?


Listen Later

After a solid discussion around the merits and challenges of having a new dog in the house, Andrew and Caroline come to the conclusion that adult supervision is key to a happy marriage.

From there, they move on to the real topic in our next Back to School episode: Goal Setting.

As with most things, it's important that goals are not something you dictate to your kids, but rather something you work with them on to develop and set. Any time a kid has the opportunity to set their own goals it helps their commitment and follow-through. 

Additionally, it's important to use what you know about your kids to help the set realistic and relevant goals that they'll be excited to work on throughout the coming school year.
