As parents, our goal is to launch our arrows (children) out into the world. We are archers. And a good archer is known not only by his arrows, but by his aim. Intentional parenting means we take time to think about our aim and the trajectory of childhood.
As a homeschool parent, setting goals is essential. It’s important to have an idea of where you want to go so you can set in motion a plan to get there!
The key is starting with the end in mind and then working backward to see what you should be doing now to work toward your ultimate goals as a homeschool parent.
But HOW exactly do we accomplish this goal – especially in the midst of keeping everything else moving forward? That’s where I am here to help!
- Discover how to determine your mission and big-picture goals for your family.
- Set out to lay out semester goals in a few key areas for your family!
This guide walks you through that process of determining big picture goals and then getting intentional several times a year to pray and set goals for each member of your family. I’ve included several printables that you can use in your own home as you outline your big-picture goals and then move to set up bite-sized goals utilizing the concept of semester goal setting! Our family has loved using these forms each Fall and Spring semester as well as setting out some goals for our summers together.
Setting goals will bring your year into focus and free you up to not feel like you have to emphasize everything simultaneously. It’s been a game changer for countless families and can help provide clarity for your family as well!
