Talk To Your Child About The Importance Of Goals

Goals are the lines that human beings draw in an imaginary way to improve ourselves economically, professionally, and emotionally.

In order to achieve these aspirations, we consider various strategies that, generally, also help us to improve ourselves in other areas.

Goals serve to make a balance between what we have achieved and what remains to be achieved.

But although it is true that setting goals and devising strategies to achieve them is typical of adults, it is advisable to teach children the importance of designing and taking them into account.

Ultimately they too have their aspirations and sooner or later they will become adults.

The importance of setting goals well

When we were children and we were asked what we wanted to be when we grew up, we all had an answer to give.

But if they asked us now what we wanted to be when we were children, surely the trade or profession that we have today, for a group of us, is very far from what we once dreamed of.

Perhaps because when we were little we wanted, for example, to be dancers, but our physical aptitudes and talent did not give us for that.

However, many others did have the necessary qualities to achieve it and, nevertheless, they never got to wear sneakers and tutus.

Perhaps because they did not know or did not have someone to guide them in setting their goals and building their life project.

So that the same does not happen to your son in you are mom we explain how to make him learn to set his goals.

Mom, what do you read to us:

Teach your child to take stock of his real possibilities so that he can rely on them.
It is essential that you measure your economic, physical, mental, family, social, intellectual possibilities …
Know what you have and what you can do with what you have.

Next, instruct him to mentally project himself onto that subject that he wants to be in the future. Visualize yourself as you want to be, be, have, and feel. Remember that establishing your purpose well is essential when founding your strategy.

After analyzing the conditions you have and determining your objectives, you can then build your action plan: what you will do, how you will do it and when you will do it.

So that you better understand what we have explained to you, we give you a hypothetical example.

The boy who wants to raise pigs

Your 10-year-old loves pigs and wants to raise some at home.
As soon as you know the news, you cry out to heaven and tell it that it is impossible.

But as you educated him well in the approach and the achievement of the goals, a good strategy is immediately drawn up.

Just as you taught it

First
You are going to take stock of your real possibilities:

• Spacious patio where to build the pens
• Budget to buy the pigs, build the pens, buy the food.
• Excessive knowledge regarding the raising of pigs.

Second
It will be projected in a mental way in that subject that you want to be in the future. It will be displayed with a lot of pigs and pigs in the backyard of your house.

Third
To make the above a reality, they must:
• Get your permission
• Get the materials and animals they need

He will get your permission by getting good grades, helping you with housework, behaving well, obeying in everything, giving you more affection than usual and asking for it as a birthday or royal gift.

To get the materials and animals you need, all you have to do is break your piggy bank.
