It is Friday and the last weekend before many teachers go back to school (at least in my area)-which means the kiddos follow very soon. Challenge Your Teen, tween, and youngster of any age, to join you doing something fun and engaging this weekend! (no extra friends or families … just “your gang”)
I know it is hot, but go outside to the park, pool, or take a bike ride and have a picnic (avoid activities that prevent talking). Laugh it up and recall the good times over the summer. Talk and set some goals for the coming school year. Remember to make the goals SMART:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Realistic
- Timed
Sharing with the family goals is a subset of sharing dreams. Saying them out loud, increases the chance that they will happen (maybe write a few on paper and post on the frig). All good stuff! Most of all … ENJOY!
Make the most of your day!
