We run a family goal-making process each year and find that it’s such a powerful motivator. The entire family participates, but I’m triggered to write this today because our two oldest kids just knocked off three goals this weekend.

The middle ran 5 times around the local field, and also rode his bike without training wheels for the first time, achieving two of his “Body” goals.  Look at the video, watch to the end.  Although he's showing off how to do figure eights, he also learns that turning too sharply is as good as slamming on the brakes.
