One of the blessings of being a parent is the reward of celebrating your children’s accomplishments. You get to witness all their hard work—the progress and the setbacks. And through it all, you are their No. 1 cheerleader, always ready with a celebratory high-five or a sympathetic hug.

A vision board is a fun and effective visual tool to help you empower your kids to be their best selves and to help them keep on track and focused on working toward accomplishing their goals.

What Is a Vision Board?

Simply put, a vision board is a visual display of your child’s hopes, dreams, and visions for the future. It’s created by using a combination of images and inspirational words that represent the goals your child desires to achieve.
