School-age children develop self-esteem when they set goals for themselves and find ways to meet their goals. In Haley’s Goal Worksheet, Haley’s goal was broken into smaller, manageable pieces. When roadblocks were encountered, Haley was able to find other ways to reach her goal.

Think of a school-age child or someone you know who has shared a goal with you. Use your background knowledge about that person to fill in this worksheet. If you get stuck, use your imagination, but try to keep both the goals and the way to achieve the goal realistic. Share your responses with your trainer, coach, or administrator.
