Create Your Family Vision
Learn what a Family Vision Is and How It Helps With Homeschooling
Creating a family vision is an excellent way to bring your family together and establish shared goals and values. It helps guide your family’s decisions, actions, and priorities. Here’s a suggested outline for creating a family vision:
1. Reflect on your family’s values:
Begin by discussing and identifying the core values that are important to your family. These values serve as the foundation for your family’s vision. Consider values such as love, respect, honesty, compassion, integrity, education, adventure, or any other principles that resonate with your family.
2. Define your family’s purpose:
Discuss and articulate the purpose or mission of your family. What do you want to achieve together? What do you want to contribute to the world? Think about the impact you want to make as a family unit and the legacy you wish to leave behind.
3. Envision your ideal future:
Imagine and describe what you want your family life to look like in the future. Consider various aspects, such as relationships, communication, education, health, leisure, and personal growth. Encourage everyone to share their aspirations and desires for the family.

4. Set specific goals:
Based on your family’s values, purpose, and vision, establish specific goals that align with your aspirations. These goals should be realistic, measurable, and time-bound. They can cover areas like education, career, personal development, family relationships, community involvement, or any other areas that are important to your family.
5. Create a family motto or statement:
Distill your family’s values, purpose, and vision into a concise and memorable motto or statement that captures the essence of your family’s identity and goals. This statement can be used as a reminder and guide for decision-making.
6. Develop an action plan:
Once you have your family vision and goals in place, work together to create an action plan. Break down your goals into actionable steps and determine who will be responsible for each task. Regularly review your progress and make adjustments as needed.
7. Practice and reinforce the vision:
Encourage everyone in the family to embrace and practice the values and goals outlined in your family vision. Lead by example and regularly discuss how your family’s vision aligns with your actions and choices. Celebrate milestones and achievements along the way.
