About the course
In fact, many of us don’t even think of goal setting as a skill; rather, it’s just something we do without reflecting on it much. However, goal setting is a practice that operates on a set of specific skills—and luckily, these skills are relatively easy to teach.
As with most skills, it’s best to start teaching goal setting early. Although parents are perhaps the best source of skill-building and development for their children, it’s vital to have some goal setting material in the school curriculum as well. Learning how to set goals in school and seeing goal setting modeled by peers and teachers is a great way to encourage effective goal setting in children.
