The Seven Habits of Happy Kids!

Start With YOU!!

Habit 1 — Be ProactiveYou're in ChargeI am a responsible person. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes,and moods. I focus on my circle of influence. I do not blame others for mywrong actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no oneis looking.

Habit 2 — Begin with the End in MindHave a PlanI plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make adi�erence. I am an important part of my classroom and contribute to myschool’s mission and vision. I look for ways to be a good citizen.

Habit 3 — Put First Things FirstWork First, Then PlayI spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to thingsI know I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I amdisciplined and organized.

Then Play Well With Others!!

Habit 4 — Think Win-WinEveryone Can WinI balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for whatothers want. I make deposits in others’ Emotional Bank Accounts.When conflicts arise, I look for third alternatives.

Habit 5 — Seek First to Understand, Then to BeUnderstoodListen Before You TalkI listen to other people’s ideas and feelings. I try to see things from theirviewpoints. I listen to others without interrupting. I am confident invoicing my ideas. I look people in the eyes when talking.

Habit 6 — SynergizeTogether Is BetterI value other people’s strengths and learn from them. I get along well withothers, even people who are di�erent than me. I work well in groups. I seekout other people’s ideas to solve problems because I know that by teamingwith others we can create better solutions than anyone of us can alone. I amhumble.

And Remember to Take Care of Yourself!

Habit 7 — Sharpen The Saw

Balance Feels BestI take care of my body by eating right, exercising and getting sleep. I spendtime with family and friends. I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, notjust at school. I find meaningful ways to help others.
