What are shared goals?

Shared goals are when people work together to reach something fun or useful that everyone wants.

Imagine you and your friend both want to build the tallest tower in the block. Instead of each building your own tower, you decide to help each other, you use your bricks, and your friend uses theirs. You're both working toward the same goal, which is to make the biggest tower ever. That’s what shared goals are like: when people join forces so they can all reach something cool together.

When you have a shared goal, it feels like you’re playing a game with your friends. You both know the rules, and you want to win, but instead of competing, you're helping each other out. It’s like when you and your friend are trying to get the ball into the net at the same time. If one of you kicks it in, you both cheer!

Shared goals make things easier too. You don’t have to do everything by yourself, you can share the work and enjoy the success together.
