In The 7 Habits of Happy Kids, Sean Covey uses beautifully illustrated stories to bring his familys successful philosophy to the youngest child. I'm not sure yet how much influence this book will have on my kids and their behaviors and habits. The questions and discussions are productive and insightful. My kids, especially Julia, absolutely love responding to the various questions and coming up with solutions to problems.The artwork is great. At the end of each chapter is a page with teaching guidelines for parents as well as some questions to ask and discuss with the kids. Each chapter is written in language appropriate and accessible to young kids and uses plot and story elements they can relate to. There are cute animal characters used to teach and represent the various habits and to work through situations that can be addressed by applying the habits. I was pleasantly surprised.I read the book with my kids and they all really enjoyed it and have asked me to read various chapters to them again and again.The book is divided into a chapter for each of the habits. While I enjoy the 7 Habits and the principles and concepts taught in that book, I wasn't sure how well it would translate into something that young kids could grasp onto. Parents, I encourage you to check out the Leader in Me website for additional information on Sean Coveys The 7 Habits of Happy Kids, including some. I must say I was initially skeptical about seeing the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" transitioned into a children's book. ![]()
