Most behavior is goal directed. The process of how to reach goals is a skill that children can use throughout their lives. This book evolved out of my persistence in finding a way for helping children help themselves. A child's personal engagement and investment in the whole process creates higher motivation, inspiration, and energy to achieve a goal. What better way for children to become more responsible and build character for successful management of behavior, aspire to reach greater scholastic achievement, or help draw out personal passion and interests than learning the process of goal setting?

Its message is clear. It breaks down the process of goal setting so that it makes common sense to the reader. Children are much more apt to be enthused and encouraged when they can comprehend the "why" behind the "how". Learning to be in touch with inner feelings does create awareness and gives one power to make better choices and decisons. This is the gift I want children to open as they read this book.
