Back to School - goal setting for kids
This excellent article starts out by warning us not to spend too much on meaningless "stuff" for the new school year, but I think its real value is in the second half, where the author gives some great ideas for helping kids to concentrate on what they want to achieve from school this academic year. While many of the ideas are clearly suggested for older kids, with a bit of adaption and explanation they would be an excellent way to get even the youngest children thinking about putting their best efforts into everything they do, planning ahead and so on.
