What's the Lowdown on Smart Goals?

Originally coined by Professor Robert S. Rubin, SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. That means your little zombies will craft goals that are crystal clear, easy to track, kick-ass, worth a damn, and got a deadline y'all!

So What're Smart Goals?

Just drop the A when it comes to having a talking sesh with your kids. Speak their language by describing attainable as achievable, because ain't nobody got time for fancy language!

The five S's of smart goals are:

  1. Specific: Get crystal clear on who, what, where, when, and which for your goals.
  2. Measurable: Make sure you can pinpoint exactly how much or how many for your goals.
  3. Achievable (or for kids, achievable!): Set goals that you know you can reach with effort.
  4. Relevant: Align your goals with what matters to your kiddos, not what pleases the adults.
  5. Time-bound: Gimme a timeframe! Deadlines keep things on track and moving.

Summa summa usum: What's the Bigger Picture?

Teach your budding achievers how to compile smart goals to set meaningful objectives, boost their fortitude to strive and succeed, stoke their mo-tivation to accomplish their cardinal objectives, and instill self-management skills. Heck yeah!

Let's kick things into high gear! Here's how to turn your tykes into smart goal-crushing ninjas:

  1. Nailing Specific Goals

Vague goals is a big no-no. Pump up your young champ's goal-setting power with the help of the five Ws to identify just who, what, where, when, and which for their pursuits.

Example:

Unspecific Goal: I'll tidy up.

Specific Goal: I'll corral my toys in the basket before sleepytime.

  1. Clenching Measurable Goals

Take matters into your own hands and measure your genius kiddos' progress. Help them set goals that answer "how many" or "how much" questions.

Example:

Unmeasurable Goal: I'll read more.

Measurable Goal: I'll flip through 15 pages every night.

  1. Locking in Achievable Goals

It's gotta be real if you want 'em to snatch that victory with both hands. Show 'em that if the goal is too hard, they'll end up feeling like they wanna fake their results.

Example:

Unachievable Goal: I'll win the school swim race when I'm the slowest swimmer.

Achievable Goal: I'll shave off 5 seconds from my freestyle record at the school swim race.

  1. Choosing Relevant Goals

Every goal should jive with your kiddo's passions and values. encourages ya to grok why goals matter to 'em. If they're just trying to make you smile or give in to external pressure, they're not doing it right.

Example:

Irrelevant Goal: I'll join basketball team 'cause mom likes it.

Relevant Goal: I'll ink my first graphic novel.

  1. Securing Time-bound Goals

Hey, you can't sleep on a deadline! Help your kiddo's goals stay high on their priority list with a due date attached.

Example:

Untimed Goal: I'll practice my times tables.

Time-bound Goal: I'll homework my times tables 10 minutes daily, 7 days a week.
