The Importance of Goal Setting in Kids


In honor of Kids' Goal Setting Week, we wanted to take some time to point out how important it is for your children to set goals for themselves. Children who set goals and achieve them, whether it be in sports, academic or personal, are more likely to perform better in life than children who do not have any meaningful goals to strive to. Camp helps children reach their goals everyday, by forcing them to go out of their comfort zone and try new things. It sets them up for a lifetime of success and for taking chances. Here are some reasons why it’s important that your children set goals for themselves:



Helps them to develop a sense of purpose: It’s important for your children to develop a sense of purpose in life. This positively affects their self esteem, self image and self belief.  Developing a sense of purpose does wonders for building confidence in your child, which gives them the tools to take on any challenge or obstacle that life is going to throw their way.


Helps them to focus: Setting goals helps your child to stay on track and focus. If they have one end result that they are hoping to achieve, it’s easy for them to make the better decisions along the way, with that end goal in mind.


Gets them motivated: Every time your child hits their goal, it keeps them motivated to set another one, and work hard to achieve it. Goals are always personal and meaningful. Internal motivation also gives them encouragement, energy and strength to achieve whatever they want in their life.

Help your child set and achieve their goals by giving them the gift of camp. Camp Tioga is the perfect way to provide fun, friendships and help your child develop confidence and self-esteem.
