Short and Long Term Goal Setting
 

This activity involves writing down goals and visualizing them being accomplished. Parents can use this worksheet when visualizing goals. After completing this activity, parents should visualize their steps to success.
The following is an excerpt from Building on Success.

Short and Long Term Goal Setting

You may use four copies of this handout. Take one copy and write in the date. Then, for each category below, set a goal. Here are different ways to do this:

  • Write down what you want to get done.
  • Tell someone what you hope to do.
  • Shut your eyes and picture yourself accomplishing the goal.
  • Draw a picture of yourself having reached your goal.

Use whatever works for you!

At the beginning of the next week, set goals again using a new copy of the handout. You may carry goals over from the previous week if they are still things you would like to do.
