The Best Year Reflection & Goal Setting Worksheet for Kids & Adults

With a new year upon us, it a great time to have everyone in your family take just a bit of time to ponder through the previous year and to make some goals for the new year! It would be a great idea to make a night of it. Celebrate the past year and look forward to the new year with a fun family dinner, a few games and a brief time to reflect and goal set!

  7. Heather, Thank you so much for this great post. I am a life coach. I shared on my blog(http://www.rklifecoach.com/how-do-you-plan-family-goals/), information from several sources about making family goals and having a family meeting. I shared a link to your post and some of the information I most appreciated from it. I love the ideas for reflecting what you want to change this year, including “what I am proud of” and “things I want to try.” I also used these ideas when making goals with my family.
