Most teenagers are familiar with the concept of setting and reaching goals, but very few of them have actually experienced the necessity of actually setting and working towards a goal themselves. A student might occasionally set a goal for good grades or a high school athlete might actually set a goal for scoring a goal, but the stakes get much higher once they leave the safety net of home. Helping your teenager understand how to set and reach goals will serve them well as they work towards a career, life-long relationships, and the many opportunities they’ll encounter, beginning in college.
