Due to this, they will end up wasting a crucial chunk of time, which they could have otherwise used in their favour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">There are many studies, management books, etc., which prove that Goal Setting is paramount for students to be successful.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; background-color: #97b5cc;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: #87bee0;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><b>Students With Written Goals &amp; Concrete Plans Are 10 Times More Successful Than The Rest!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14px;\"><strong>Source: Harvard MBA Business School Study on Goal Setting<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Not just that, many accomplished people in the world swear by the role Goal Setting played in their eventual success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Quote.png\" alt=\"Micheal Jordan On Goal Setting\" width=\"800\" height=\"447\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">So, now you know, how important Goal Setting is for your child.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>What Can You Do As a Parent?<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Have a conversation with your child about their dreams, aspirations and what they want to do with their life.

But, it is essential that you don\u2019t push your child to participate in a ton of extracurricular activities. This will spread him\/her too thin and they won\u2019t excel in one single activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would rather a student tell me about the handful of clubs and activities they have been involved with and excelled in, rather than an exhaustive list of clubs that they feigned interest in, kind-of-sort-of-one-day.

When your child does not have a goal in mind, every suggestion will seem attractive. If the best friend is joining Law, your child wants to do the same. If they watch a film where the protagonist is an Architect, then your child wants to do the same.

They end up not being able to do justice to both the tests happening around the same time. Your child who could have easily cracked one specific test &amp; gotten into a dream college, will end up settling with an average college because he\/she was an \u2018AND\u2019 student.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Here\u2019s a most common example of what happens in India:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7261\" src=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Quote-\u2013-1.png\" alt=\"Student Confusion\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>What Can You Do As a Parent?<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">You have to sit down with your child and tell them that they cannot focus on multiple tests or subjects at the same time.
