DAY 2: PASSION DISCOVERY
- First, have your child choose one thing from the Interest Brainstorm Page to focus on. Even though they may have a lot of interests/passions, we only want them to choose one to focus on right now.
- Using their interest/passion as a guide, help them set a specific/attainable goal.
Attainable Goal
- Donβt make this goal too big. We want this first goal to be something they will be able to achieve sooner rather than later. Small successes lead to greater confidence and a desire to want to keep going. If they choose a big goal, see if you can break it up into smaller goals.
- For example, I want to learn to draw a car. I want to learn to tie my shoes. I want to learn to build a paper airplane. I want to get better at Karate.
Create a plan
- Choose 3-4 steps your child will do to reach that goal
- For example:Β I will watch YouTube videos on how to fold a paper airplane, I will practice folding airplanes for 5 minutes every day, I will keep trying even when it gets hard, I will get a paper airplane folding book).
