We love a good bucket list as it give you something to aim for over a period of time, and can be a real source of inspiration for the kids. It is also very satisfying for them to be able to gradually tick of everything on their list one by one. It build self esteem, giving them a strong sense of achievement. As a bucket list is tangible, it brings realness to those achivements.
