3．As children grow and develop，they'll begin to show interest in many different things．They'll start to give more attention to certain things that really interest them，some of which will turn into dreams．
（36）CBut for goals that are so far off and often so big，how do we even start to provide guidance？
Have Them Write Down Their Dream．Writing down the dream allows them to see the idea in the first steps of fabrication and helps them stay responsible for their goal．
Research Their Dream．（37）DResearch will also give them important information on what they'll need in order to turn the dream into reality．
Make A Timeline For Achievement．Setting a date for achievement of a goal helps keep you focused．For children，the goal could be，"within 5years after I graduate from college"，or，"before I turn 16．"
（38）GHow do you plan on achieving your goal？What steps are you going to take？What education or special skills do you need to accomplish your goal？
Focus on the Dream and Develop Perseverance．The first step is to get focused，which is the fuel that drives people to achieve．Perseverance is the extra push you need to be able to give yourself when things start to slow down （or seem like they're slowing down）．（39）F
Play Games．Develop games or challenges that allow your children to make small achievements．Or simply ask them if they have any smaller dreams or goals that they want to accomplish sooner．（40）EIf children can achieve on a small scale，they'll learn two important things：achieving on a large scale is possible； the process of achieving works．The importance of this process isn't really about the initial dream．It's about teaching children how to achieve anything．We want them to learn the process so that even if their dreams change，their chances of success do not．
A．Show Your Support and Set a Good Example．
B．As far as kids are concerned，anything is possible．
C．If your goal is to help your children achieve these dreams，you should show them how and help lead the way．
D．The more they learn about their dream，the more realistic it becomes．
E．Use these things as teaching tools．
F．A dream without a determined attitude is simply a"once was．"
G．Develop a Plan of Action．
