Shared Vision establishes expectations for an environment or a discussion. 

Many times children aren't on the same page as adults about expectations. This can lead to frustration and arguments. Parents and/or guardians can use a Shared Vision to make expectations clear and prevent conflict. 

A Shared Vision can be made for different scenarios and events that take place throughout the day. For example, parents and guardians can do a Shared Vision for home schooling currently taking place. The parent and/or guardian may have certain expectations for home schooling to go well with their children. These can be any or all of the following examples of expectations:

1 - To start home schooling with your child/children at a certain time of the morning

2 - Have work assignments done in a timely manner

3 - Children to work quietly on an assignement as parent and/or guardian may have responsibilties themselves to complete as they work from home too

Children may have expectations as well, such as the following: 

1 - Take breaks during home schooling

2 - Have fun with parent/guardian while home schooling

3 - Receive patience and help from parent and/or guardian when facing difficulty with a school assignment
