What are your New Year's Resolutions? Not everyone is making them but everyone has goals for the year. Want to loose weight and or eat healthier? Be more present with your family? Make more time for yourself? or just try to get the kids back on track after a hectic previous year?
Give Goal For It Chore Chart a test run - it just might help.
I don't have kids at home any longer, but I've been trying this new Chore Chart out with my granddaughter, whom I watch two times a week. Even tho' she is only 3 we still have goals on those two days she is with me - we need to get her dressed, eat breakfast, brush her teeth, get her to preschool on time... and she loves being able to mark these things off on her Princess-themed chart with a Mady-chosen sticker! {you can print out the charts or use them online}
These are her "jobs" right now and she is very proud when she accomplishes these things!
This is a great way to teach even the smallest child the beginning of responsibility, and young kids enjoy seeing the patterns, and consistencies, in their days; Your kids too will enjoy the feeling of accomplishment as they check off each chore/goal - and you can designate reward points for each checkmark if you choose.
Goal For It is more than just a chore chart though. It has areas for adding friends and family so you can easily communicate, you can post goals for yourself and your family, keep track of to-do lists - and no longer loose track of them! And yes, even I love to see things crossed off a list :). There is also a Journal section, and more. Consider it your go-to online organizer! It's free and takes only a few simple steps to set up.
I'm going to start using Goal for it to focus my blogging tasks as well as tasks I need to complete for my new Etsy shop, On Woodland Road - I think it will be a very helpful tool. Kids 13 and over can create their own account to keep track of their personal lists and tasks. {The under 18 crowd is kept out of the community searches etc.}
Even if you just want to use the Chore Chart sections they are very versatile and appealing; There are Chore charts geared to kids, and to tweens/teens and they each have several categories: health {food choices, weigh-in reminders, exercise}, chores, and behaviour charts for starters, and you can add your own custom items of course. You can also set up custom email reminders to keep you, and your kids, focused and on-task.
Give Goal For It Chore Chart a spin, remember nothing works forever with kids and you may need to change things up every so often {or at least make it look different by changing the theme} but I think this is a great tool to help you, and your kids, stay focused throughout your day.
I was introduced to Goal For It via a relationship with MomSelect and was compensated for this post. All opinions & experiences, however, are my own & are not reviewed by anyone but me prior to posting.
