meeting with kids

Last month I started my organization notebook.  I scoured the Internet and Pinterest finding daily to do lists, etc to help get organized.  One of the things that I did  was have a section for each of the kids.  I found a personal interview sheet onhttp://preparednotscared.blogspot.com/.   I used this sheet last month with the younger three kiddos, my 19 year old wasn't all that interested in meeting with me.  I decided that I like a lot of what this sheet has but tweaked it to meet my family.  This is what my sheet now looks like:

Every month the kids are going to have two goals, one personal and one academic.  All the kids are working on a financial goal of saving their allowance.   My 13 year old is learning how to bake a cake, 7 year old is going to read 5 books, 4 year old is working on trying new foods (she is extremely picky). 

My kids really like meeting with me, sharing, and talking.  Hopefully, this is going to help the kids become more independent.  I think that this is helping because when my 4 year old would stop and say "Oh, I am working on not saying that.  I'm sorry."  That in itself is a victory!
