Who this kids goal setting journal is for
This journal is for children learning that big dreams are reached through small, steady steps. It suits kids aged about six to twelve working toward goals like reading a chapter book, learning to ride a bike, making the team or saving for a toy. Teaching goal setting early builds confidence, patience and a growth mindset, and seeing practice stars add up shows children that effort really does pay off, which is a lesson that lasts far beyond childhood.
How to use your kids goal setting journal
Start on the dream big page and let your child list everything they would love to do or learn. Choose one goal and fill in a goal page with why it matters and the small steps to get there. Color a practice star each time they work on it. Do a quick weekly check together to talk about what went well. Read the growth mindset page when things feel hard, record wins along the way and award the certificate when the goal is reached.
