A great way to explore your family’s goals, values, and desires
is to create a family collage or vision board. Grab some magazines, crayons, and glue. Ask each person to find photos and words that
represent your family, personal or family goals, or an activity you wish to
experience together. Once you collect your pictures and words, create a
collage. Hang it where your family will see it daily - it serves as a reminder
of your CORE values and goals and will be a motivator to help you achieve them.
A family who completed this activity told me their child put
a horse on their vision board. A horse was not an option; however it led to the
child receiving horseback riding lessons which later turned into a regular family
activity.
Another family expressed a desire for a family vacation –
something they had been unable to do in several years. The vision board prompted
family members to discuss a plan to work together and save for a vacation. By the
end of the year they accomplished their goal! The board became a way for the family
to bond and work together.
The vision board is a nice activity to do with the start of
the school year and fall activities. What
are your family’s goals and desires this fall?
