Today, we share how to strengthen a positive mindset through COMMITTING TO YOUR GOALS. This is picking a few meaningful goals and devoting time and effort toward the pursuit of achieving them.
Why it matters
Nothing makes children feel more accomplished than setting a goal for themselves and actually achieving it. From tying their shoes to making the team, having goals empowers them to work toward something and allows them to be resilient when they fall short.
How it works
The feeling of self-efficacy that comes from achieving goals can’t be beat in terms of building self-confidence and it fuels the desire to achieve more.
