My six year old son and I sat down to make him a goal chart. When we finished I opened up another file and started to type. My son read over my shoulder as I went. “What are you doing, mommy?” He asked. “I finished your goal chart, so now I’m making mine.” I said. “What do I need to work on in order to be a better mommy?” He thought for a few seconds. “Play more.” He said. “And teach me things.” I agreed, so those things went down on my goal chart, too. If he needs to collect stickers to work on things, I don’t see why I shouldn’t collect stickers as well. Life is about positive changes at 32 just as it is at six.

If your mommy-goals or daddy-goals are different from mine, feel free to leave a comment with what your goals are, and I’d be happy to make you a PDF with your own goals as well as one for your child.
