What is goal-setting?

Goal-setting is when you decide what you want to do and work towards it step by step.

Imagine you have a treasure map, and your job is to find the treasure at the end of the map. That’s like setting a goal, you know where you want to go, and now you can start walking there.

Think about when you’re trying to build the tallest tower with your blocks. You might say, “I want my tower to be as tall as my dad.” That’s your goal. Then you pick up one block at a time and stack them, that’s working toward your goal.

Sometimes it's like playing a game with rules: if you take a step forward, you get closer to the finish line. If you stop for a moment, that’s okay too, you're still on the path!

When you set goals, you know what to do next. It’s like having a map or a guide in your hand while you walk through a forest, you might not see the whole way ahead, but you can take one step at a time and still reach where you want to go.
