Setting Goals. What does it mean to “set goals” in the context of Head Start? Does every family have to set goals as a part of their family partnership agreement? What if a family doesn’t want to set goals or to be involved in a family partnership agreement? The Head Start Program Performance Standards state that programs “must engage in a process of collaborative partnership-building with parents to establish mutual trust and to identify family goals, strengths, and necessary services and other supports.” [(CFR 1304.40(a)(1)]. In addition, agencies must offer parents opportunities to formally develop family partnership agreements that “describe family goals, responsibilities, timetables, and strategies for achieving those goals as well as progress in achieving them.” [(CFR 1304.40(a)(2)]. Family goals might include both goals that families set for their children, such as “my child will learn to use his words to ask for what he needs; or my child will receive her speech therapy in the Early Head Start setting,” and goals families set for themselves, such as “I will finish my GED; we will find ways to spend one-on-one time with our child each night; or we will move into a new home by the end of the year.” Simply put, goals are a vision of the future. A natural way to help families identify their goals is to begin right where they are: what brought them to your program? Every family walks through your door for a reason. Most parents come to Early Head Start because they want something for their children. Parents are often able to articulate their hopes and wishes for their children before they can focus on themselves or the family as a whole. Save The Children Early Head Start, Atlanta, GA There are many ways to set goals with families. A formal meeting where you document specific goals on a written form is only one way, and is not necessarily the preferred way to engage families in goal-setting. In fact, such a formal process can be intimidating. Families may feel overwhelmed or scrutinized. It is important to recognize that goal-setting can be accomplished in a variety of less traditional ways. Sometimes you can turn a talent or interest into a goal. For example, you might notice and comment on a unique skill that a parent demonstrates at home or at the center. Perhaps a parent with a knack for cooking can do a parent workshop on making affordable and nutritious meals; or a parent with a flair for decorating can give you some ideas on improving the family resource room a...
Setting Goals. After you've identified the problems you want to work on with your therapist, you need to formulate goals for these problems. One way of identifying your goals is to ask yourself "What will my life look like when this problem is no longer an issue for me?" Your goals should be measurable. One way to make your goals measurable is to quantify them and add a deadline you want to have them achieved by. Choosing Tasks Lastly, you need to identify objectives. Objectives are tasks you can work on that will help you reach your overall goal. You want to choose tasks that relate directly to your identified problems and bring you closer to reaching your goals. For example, if your original problem is that you've been having a rapid heartbeat, racing thoughts, and difficulty breathing due to anxiety, your overall goal might be to experience a reduction in symptoms of anxiety. Your objectives may include practicing deep breathing techniques for 5 minutes a day, identifying at least 5 triggers for anxiety, and identifying at least 5 coping skills for each anxious trigger, because these tasks will help reduce your anxiety.
