The Power of Using Photographs in Your Child's Room
The concept of using pictures to help reach a particular goal is not a new one. If we haven't done so ourselves, we usually know of someone who has—the co-worker whose cubicle wall is decorated with travel brochures for that desired dream vacation; the dieter who tacks a photo of a new outfit on the refrigerator door; slick pages from a car catalogue in an acrylic frame on the desk of someone striving to reach that goal.
Many business professionals use a simple vision board concept-- arranging meaningful images cut from magazines, on a sheet of poster board or a cork bulletin board—to help them reach goals professionally and personally. The key is to have images that represent the desired results from reaching those goals in a place where you can see it everyday.
Children and teens can benefit from creating their own vision boards, giving a visual voice to their dreams, aspirations, and accomplishments. Not only is the vision board a great project to do with your child, the concept can provide value in helping build a positive sense of self while releasing creativity. The key is to display the vision board somewhere where the child will see it everyday, with their bedroom being the optimum place.
