Goal-setting isn't a skill that comes naturally to children.Learning to achieve goals is important for children because it helps them develop life skills.Goal-setting shares lots of advantages across the age groups.A good time to start is when a child is old enough to take on simple responsibilities，such as buy some books that he likes.    Set goals is necessary    Goal-setting gives students a right direction that will encourage them to make better decisions.    When a child learns to set goals，he develops a sense of purpose.Then he will break down his goals into proper actions.    Goals may make students get a sense of responsibility for their own behaviors.    To set goals they need to：    • Set goals from short-term to long-term.    • Find something that's a little bit challenging.    • Time limit（限制） for clear aims.    • To achieve the goal is to finish every day's plan，every month's plan，and even more.    Long-term and short-term goals help children get a sense of responsibility for their own behaviors.This sense of responsibility comes from improved self-efficacy（自我效能） because positive goal-setting experiences help a child learn more about himself and his abilities.
