Parenting is a journey and as your children develop so do their needs. What remains constant is the importance of empowering kids and helping them realize that good behavior has its rewards. We know that kids who establish a habit of setting goals and striving to achieve them enjoy far greater success in life. Following are real life stories of individuals who have distinguished themselves as friends, children, mentors, brother and sisters. And for all of the stories told, there are countless other examples yet to be uncovered. Discover and share the stories of your children and families whose hard work and efforts are unfolding, being recognized, applauded and rewarded through GoalUP.

Having tangible extrinsic rewards is essential for students. So often we assume that the value of an education will be enough to motivate students in school. And for some, it is. However, most students need goals with foreseeable benchmarks to encourage them into positive habits. As a teacher I can see the importance of a program like this for parents and families.
Extrinsic rewards, when done thoughtfully and in collaboration with your child, can provide motivation and meaning for your child to explore new opportunities for growth, and develop discipline. GoalUP is a wonderful platform conscious parents can use to turn the mundane into a game, support competition with self, and eliminate drama within the family. This program can also help parents stay consistent in guiding their child’s progress which builds trust in the child and gives them an experience of being reliably seen.
