Engage in conversations about aspirations and eco-friendly living, setting the groundwork for the vision board. Don’t be afraid to let your child explore creativity by cutting and placing items wile at the same time, discussing their significance with them. Be sure to guide your child to stay in the moment, understanding the emotions tied to each goal. Once complete, display the vision board prominently to keep the goals in sight.
