Are you a kid who wants to be more happy? Well, if you are, you should read The 7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey. There are seven habits that help you be more happy. Do you want to know what they are?
1. Be Proactive. That means you’re in charge.
2. Begin with the End in Mind. That means have a plan.
3. Put First Things First. That means work first, then play.
4. Think Win-Win. That means everybody can win.
5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood. That means listen before you talk.
6. Synergize. That means together is better.
7. Sharpen the Saw. That means balance feels best.
Instead of a long boring book that explains all these habits, this book is fun for kids. It is full of exciting stories that teach kids about the seven habits. My favorite one is called “Jumper and the Lost Butterfly Net.” It is funny because a mouse called Tagalong Allie can’t talk very well and it’s hard to understand what she says. She tries to explain to a rabbit named Jumper that her sweater is on backwards but he is not paying attention. Jumper learns to listen with his eyes and heart, not just with his ears. That means he learned to seek first to understand, then be understood. That’s habit number 5. The author, Sean Covey, also has activities that you can try to understand the habits more. Here is one of the activities: “Try to go one whole hour without talking even once. Instead, just watch the people around and listen to what they are saying.” Do you feel happy already? Well you should read this book and learn more
about these habits. I think you’ll have a lot of fun!
Thanks Abby! Now I want to read this book!
