7 Habits of Happy Kids Poster

 This is the poster on my daughters play room door.


My wife and daughter did it together after we got the book " The 7 Habits of Happy Kids" by Sean Covey son of Stephen R. Covey who wrote "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People"

The 7 Habits for kids:
1- Be Proactive
    You're In charge
2- Begin with the End in Mind
    Have a Plan
3- Put First Things First
     Work First, Then Play
4- Think Win-Win
     Everyone can Win
5- Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood
     Listen before you talk
6- Synergize
     Together is better
7- Sharpen the Saw
     Balance feels Best

I like that my daughter sees this before she goes in to play.

Question:
Do you have any inspirational pictures in your child's room? Would love to see some pics

He spoke of the feedings and clothing of the less fortunate and the liberty of the captives through the power of God. She sat wide-eyed and mystified. “I will go to Africa when I get the chance", she said.

Lesson Learned From 10 Year Old Not From Cop

The following post is by the Co-founder of WorkingClassParenting.com, Omar De Pablo: I hate to start out with a cliché; however, how often have we as parents thought to ourselves or spoken, “do as I say and not as I do?" We discipline our children on particular matters and expect, no, demand, consistent obedience. Meanwhile, we ourselves are lacks-a-daisy about the same issue. Multiple times in my sons early years I've stressed the importance of wearing seat belts. Before the car would row out, everyone was to have their seat belts on. After a while it became habit for him to get the seat belt on, but habit for me to leave it off. So with time, the tables turned. My son, now 10 years old, reminds me every time I get in the car to “get your seat belt on dad, what if we get in an accident dad, what if you get pulled over dad?" As soon as I was called out I would make some sly remark like, “oh I was going too, or, I forgot, I will now." (You know, trying to keep...

As Leaders...

As leaders in our homes, we should build memorable monuments with our children and we should also build those monuments for our children. Our children won’t reminisce about big events and big-ticket items. Rather, their hearts will be warmed by memories of the love, care, and companionship you showed them day to day.
