with them a lifetime Please avoid

The 7 Habits of Happy Kids

By Stephen R Covey

Students have been practicing and using the 7 Habits all year and this week will really have to focus on using the Sixth habit-Synergize This habit focuses on the idea that we can work together to come up with better solutions to any issue or task than any single one of us could come up with alone It also says that instead of ldquomy wayrdquo or ldquoyour wayrdquo we should both work together to make ldquoa higher wayrdquo Think about it working together is what helps geese fly thousands of miles when they migrate around this time every year Itrsquos why the rhinoceros lets the little bird sit on its back and eat bugs They work together to come up with better solutions than they could alone They need each other to survive and we need each other to create better solutions to everyday problems and tasks When we work together we must listen and learn from each other This is so important in any job family or school We can truly all benefit from synergizing so letrsquos all work together to become better leaders So parents ask your kids what they are learning about the 7 Habits Ask them what it means to Synergize Together think of some ways that you all can use this habit in your own home so that everyone works together We are all in this together and it is bound to be a wonderful adventure as we grow and develop as leaders at Whitesville Elementary
