Episode 002 - A Brief Look at Goal Setting
Podcast Episode’s Synopsis:
In our recent episode, “A Brief Look at Goal Setting” (Episode 002), we explored girls' goals at different ages and contexts, such as school, social relationships, or self-exploration. We discussed the importance of goals aligning with our daughters’ interests and strengths. Moms can help their daughters understand processes or steps toward their goals and metrics for measuring progress. A central theme is mothers’ valuable support through understanding and encouragement.

Read more on agency, internal locus of control, and the relationship to mental health in girls.
