Child will come dressed as their future occupation to the program. They will tell what they are dressed up as to their peers and why they want to become that occupation.
We will be creating a vision board. Materials will be supplied.
The Benefits of creating a vision board with a child:
#1 Encourages Your Child to Dream Big
One of our most significant faults as adults is failing to dream big enough. We become so stuck in our daily habits that we forget how far we can go if we put our minds to it.
Teaching your child to dream big will lead them to a rich and fulfilling life. They won’t let things hold them back from what they truly want in life. This is especially true when you have a special needs child.
Perhaps more importantly, they will know what they are working towards. This dramatically increases the chances of their success in life.
But goals and dreams are abstract, and when they don’t see them repeatedly, they quickly forget. Creating a vision board can help your child creatively focus on these goals.
So, you’ll be helping your child realize their dreams, as well as giving them the motivation and focus they’ll need to succeed.
#2 Provides a great bonding experience
Creating a vision board together is a great way to spend time with your child and bond with them. It’s also a fun and creative activity that they can enjoy doing.
You’ll be able to learn more about your child as you work together to create their vision board.
For example,
- What are their dreams?
- Is there something in particular that motivates them?
- What is your child passionate about?
These things will give you great insight into your child’s character and help you better support them as they grow.
It will also remind you of your bond and the time you spent together creating it.
#3 Teaches Your Child About Responsibility
Vision boards for kids don’t just teach your child how to dream big. They also teach them about responsibility. Although they will learn how to achieve their dreams, there are numerous steps they’ll need to take.
For example, if your child decides to be a doctor, you can teach them the steps they’ll need to take to make their dream a reality.
Doing well in school is one of these responsibilities, as they would need good grades to become a doctor. Therefore, vision boards can also encourage better performance at school.
As they work towards their goal, they realize that it takes daily effort to reach those far-off dreams of theirs.
Checking off tasks will help them develop good habits and become more responsible as they commit to working towards their goals.
#4 Help Foster Your Child’s Creativity and Passion
Younger children are naturally creative, but they can start to lose that creativity as they grow older.
A vision board is a great way to express your child’s creativity. As they choose images and words that resonate with them, they will be creating a representation of their innermost desires.
This is an excellent way for your child to find what truly motivates them.
Passion is crucial as it drives our every action. It produces the drive for success and gets us through those difficult moments in life.
When your child discovers what they are passionate about, they will have a greater sense of purpose that will serve them well throughout their lives.
So, when you help your child create a vision board for their life, you’ll be helping to nurture their passion, excitement, and creativity.
#5 Helps Your Child to Better Focus
When your child sets goals, it will help him stay focused on his daily actions to meet those goals. Additionally, you can help your child break down their goals into manageable weekly action plans.
Teaching your child that hard work brings about rewards will ensure that the vision board will become a reality over time. This is especially important as they grow up and naturally depend on self-motivation.
If the vision board represents something your child is passionate about, they will have an even greater sense of purpose and determination to succeed.
