7 Habits of Happy Kids 

# 1     Be Proactive

I have a “Can Do” attitude. I choose my actions, attitudes and moods. I don’t blame others. I do the right thing without being asked, even when nobody is looking.

 

#2     Begin with the End in Mind

I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important part of my classroom. I look for ways to be a good citizen. 

 

#3     Put First Things First

I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I should say no to things I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am organized.

 

#4     Think Win-Win

I want everyone to be a success. I don’t have to put others down to get what I want. It makes me happy to see others happy. I like to do nice things for others. When a problem comes up, I help think of a way to solve it. We can all win!

 

#5     Seek First to Understand

Then to be Understood

I listen to others’ ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoints. I listen to others without interrupting. I am confident in voicing my ideas.

 

#6     Synergize

I get along well with others, even people who are different from me. I work well in groups. I seek out other ideas to solve problems. I know that “two heads are better than one.” I am a better person when I let other people into my life and work. 

 

#7     Sharpen the Saw

I take care of my body by eating right, exercising, and getting sleep. I spend time with my friends and family. I learn in lots of ways and lots of places.
