54| How to Set Goals With Your Kids: Motivating Children of All Ages to Dream Big and Follow Through

In this episode of Everyday Supermoms, we're talking about how to set meaningful, age-appropriate goals with your kids—and actually help them stick with it. Whether your child is learning to tie their shoes, save for a big purchase, or run their first 5K, setting and reaching goals builds confidence, resilience, and connection. You'll hear examples by age group, simple strategies to stay motivated, and a gentle reminder that goal-setting isn't just for adults. It's a superpower we can teach our kids now.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Goal-setting teaches kids responsibility, confidence, and perseverance

• Start simple with little ones using visual aids like charts or stickers

• Older kids benefit from SMART goals and long-term planning

• Motivation comes from small wins, encouragement, and modeling the process

• The most important part? Make it collaborative and celebrate effort
