Episode 2:1 - Goal Setting in a Blended Family
We have been setting goals with our kids every year at the beginning of the year since we started blending families. We would spend a day after new years day and talk to the kids about the importance of setting and achieving goals. We would write our goals down and then put them in a box in the entertainment center. Then the next year at New Year's day we would dust off the box and look at the goals stored inside. These weren't goals, just forgotten wishes.
Teaching about Goals
- Braking things down into categories: Physical, Intellectual, Social, Spiritual
- Writing goals down. What is a goal what are steps to achieve a goal
- Family goals
- Sharing goals with each other
- New years resolutions
Goals not Wishes (papers in a box)
- Discover,
- Plan,
- Act

- Vision boards
- Asking for help to achieve goals (resources, money, lessons, etc...)
Blending Families additional coordination
- Family goals may be different in each home.
- Inconsistency between homes

We didn't get to see our granddaughters over Christmas, so we worked in the kitchen and family room, painting and building. Check out the picture.
