Parenting Goals

When it comes to making career and self-development goals, I am the master. I pretty much accomplish whatever I put my mind on... I guess because I'm somewhat in control. But when it comes to parenting I'm a mess. I can't control my child and I don't want to but I want to be the best parent for him. However, I don't know how to make goals out of it. I figure if I make parenting goals for myself I can at least accomplish those things. My question is how do you go about making parent goals?

I would keep it simple.

What children need is fairly basic.

You could set goals like "at least 30 minutes a day play time, without electronics for either of us"
"doing at least once a week an activity that he/she choses"
"teaching / doing together at least 1 household activity together a day"

etc.

Thank you for that! I tend to overthink things so I appreciate this more than you know.
