Create a Vision Board with Your Kiddos to Manifest Success and Growth in 2025
Setting Goals for 2025 with a Twist of Creativity
Let’s face it, parenting a child actor can feel like trying to juggle flaming bowling pins while riding a unicycle. Between auditions, school, and snack breaks, setting goals often gets lost in the shuffle. But what if I told you there’s a way to focus on your family’s dreams while indulging in a bit of creative bonding? Enter: the vision board.
Yes, it might sound a little “woo-woo,” but creating a vision board can help you and your child set clear goals for the year. Think of it as a GPS for your dreams—but with glue sticks and glitter. And trust me, as someone who once “manifested” a first-class upgrade twice in one trip (long story), I can vouch for its power.
Why a Vision Board Works (Even If You’re a Skeptic)
Here’s the thing: vision boards aren’t just about asking the universe for stuff. They’re about mindful goal-setting. By visualizing your goals, you’re subconsciously nudging yourself toward actions that align with them. It’s like setting your brain to “goal-achieving mode.” Plus, they’re fun to make!
How to Create a Vision Board in 5 Easy Steps
Set the Mood: Gather your supplies—poster board, magazines, markers, scissors, glue—and pick a cozy spot in your home. Play some upbeat music or your kid’s favorite soundtrack (let’s be real, probably Encanto).
Define Your Goals: Encourage your child to dream big. Do they want to land their first TV role? Improve memorization skills? Make new friends on set? Write these goals down to stay focused.
Get Visual: Flip through magazines or print pictures that represent each goal. For instance, a starry night for Hollywood dreams, a stack of books for mastering scripts, or a microphone for learning to sing.
Make It Personal: Add your child’s headshot, motivational quotes, or their favorite colors to personalize the board.
Place It Where You’ll See It: Hang it somewhere visible, like their bedroom or your family’s creative corner. The more you see it, the more you’re reminded to stay on track.
Digital Vision Boards: Tech-Savvy Creativity
If your kid prefers digital over scissors and glue, tools like Canva or Pinterest are perfect for creating a virtual vision board. Bonus: you can save it as their phone wallpaper for daily inspiration!
Ideas for Your Child Actor’s Vision Board
Career Goals: “Sign with a Talent Rep,” “Book a Commercial,” or “Attend a Red Carpet Event.”
Skills Development: “Master Crying on Cue,” “Improve Memorization,” or “Learn an Accent.”
Personal Growth: “Make New Friends,” “Be More Confident,” or “Try a New Hobby.”
Family Goals: “Plan a Family Vacation” or “Spend More Time Together.”
Corey’s Tip: Make One for Yourself!
Parents, don’t just sit on the sidelines. Make your own vision board alongside your child. Whether it’s finally organizing the garage or landing your dream job, your goals deserve attention too.

Creating a vision board is more than just arts and crafts—it’s a chance to dream big with your child and set the tone for an intentional, successful 2025.
