Support children in setting and achieving their goals from "summary" of How to Raise Successful People by Esther Wojcicki
Encouraging children to set and achieve their goals is an essential part of parenting. It involves guiding them towards identifying what they want to achieve and supporting them in developing a plan to reach their objectives. By instilling in them the belief that their goals are attainable, parents can help children build confidence and resilience. One way to support children in setting and achieving their goals is to involve them in the process from the beginning. This means encouraging them to think about what they want to accomplish and helping them break down their goals into manageable steps. By empowering children to take ownership of their aspirations, parents can foster independence and a sense of agency. Furthermore, it is important for parents to provide a supportive environment that nurtures children's ambitions. This involves offering encouragement, celebrating their successes, and providing constructive feedback when needed. By creating a positive and affirming atmosphere, parents can help children stay motivated and focused on their goals. In addition to offering support, parents can also serve as role models for their children. By sharing their own experiences of setting and achieving goals, parents can demonstrate the value of perseverance and hard work. This can inspire children to stay committed to their aspirations even when faced with challenges.- By supporting children in setting and achieving their goals, parents can help them develop important life skills such as problem-solving, time management, and resilience. This sets children up for success not only in the short term but also in the long term, as they learn to navigate obstacles and pursue their dreams with confidence and determination.
