Introduce your buddy (nextdoor neighbor)

Analogy of a learning journey
Along the way you have an invisible backpack on your back

B= Blessings- things I'm grateful for.

A= Achievements- things I'm proud of.

G=Goals- Things I'm aiming for.

There can be an S for strategy.
If you write your goal down you have a 50% chance of achieving it.
If you read that goal every day you have a 95% chance of achieving it.

Model disappointment with your kids and model the strategies with your kids to still achieve those goals after the disappointment.
