Even the simple act of discussing goals can position your child for success, since it gives them a focused, formal opportunity to think about what they want to accomplish and how they might accomplish it. Taking it a step further, encourage them to write their goals on paper, which will help provide clarity, and then stick it somewhere highly visible as a daily reminder, which will help them commit.
