We
set three clear, measurable long-term goals for our children:
- Graduate
from high school with a positive plan for the future.
- Avoid early
parenting.
- Avoid involvement
in the criminal justice system.
Intermediate
goals guide us along the way:
- Develop social
skills with adults, peers, and members of our community.
- Improve mental
and emotional health.
- Learn to
make good choices regarding behavior and peer pressure.
- Attend school
regularly and make consistent progress, academically and behaviorally.
- Improve health
care (physical, mental, and when appropriate, reproductive).
