There\u2019s so much \u201cnew\u201d and you\u2019re constantly on-the-go. Before you and your little one settle back into the swing of things, set goals with your preschool to make this the best school-year yet! Your kiddos are never too young to have goals, and this is the perfect time to make them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Short-term and Realistic<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your preschooler likely has a short-attention span and goes from playing with their favorite Paw Patrol toys to playing outside in the matter of minutes. They are constantly changing and shifting interests. That\u2019s the beauty of this phase of life! It is important to put these changes into consideration when setting goals. Make goals more short-term \u2013 maybe a few days to a couple weeks tops. The shorter they are, the more realistic they are.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goals are fun!<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do not make goals sound like a chore. Your preschooler will become unmotivated if they think of these goals as something they absolutely <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">have to<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> accomplish. For example, one of the goals can be learning how to properly dribble a soccer ball. Your little one most likely enjoys playing outside (except in the middle of summer..), and therefore will see this as a fun activity. Of course, keep in mind that you want your child to learn and grow in all areas of life. It\u2019s all about balance and moderation \u2013 make fun goals and more serious ones!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organization<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lists and journaling are a great way to keep track of goals and the progress you\u2019ve made. Your preschooler may not understand how to write just yet, but this is the perfect time to start introducing them to organization and journaling. It would be a good idea to sit down with your preschool every couple nights and keep track of what they\u2019ve done so far to accomplish their goals. For example, if they are learning how to properly dribble a soccer ball then you can write the amount of times they practiced in the journal entry.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your child is a go-getter in training now. Go make those goals and have fun while accomplishing them!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/medlock-bridge\/2019\/08\/01\/creative-lunch-ideas-for-preschoolers\/\">Creative Lunch Ideas for Preschoolers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsrkidsmedlockbridge.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Medlock Bridge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Norcross, Georgia?
