WELL DONE! READY FOR WEEK TWO ??

Focus: Goal-setting and preparation for the journey ahead.

1. CBT Focus: Think about how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected to reaching goals.
2. Expressive Arts Activity:
   • Children: Draw a backpack and fill it with “tools” (e.g., courage, family support, humor) to symbolize the strengths they need to face upcoming challenges.
   • Adults: Visualize the “tools” they need to reach their personal goals.

1. Experiential Family Therapy Activity: Identify a current family challenge, and brainstorm how the family can work together to overcome it.
2. Executive Functioning Homework Assignment:
   • Children: Learn about SMART Goals: Work with a parent to set a short-term goal, map out the steps, and track progress throughout the week.
   • Adults: Learn about SMART Goals: Complete a personal or family-related goal.

Self-Help Activity for Week 2

• Parent-Child Attachment Activity: Work together to create a Family Toolbox—a list of tools (real or symbolic) that the family can use to support each other in difficult times.
• Executive Functioning Activity:
  • Children: Set a short-term goal for the week and use a goal map to show each step needed to reach that goal (e.g., for school, a hobby, or a chore).
  • Adults: Prioritize tasks for the week and block out time to work on each goal. At the end of the week, review how well the time-blocking worked and where improvements can be made.
