Family Goals
Family goals apply to what we do within our family unit, both the nuclear family and our extended family. We each need to invest our personal time and resources into family events that bind our family members together. Children need parents time as well as financial resources. We each wrestle with how much to devote to family events over non-family goals.
While many people consider pets as family members, we classify decisions about animals including pets as lifestyle choice goals instead of Outward Goals.
Starting Steps for Family Goals
(1) Which family members need or want my help?
(2) What types of services and resources can I offer family members?
