  1. The Seven Habits of Happy Kids

  2. You’re in Charge

  3. Difference Between Proactive and Reactive Behavior You are walking through the kitchen and you notice that the handle of a pan on the stove is sticking out. Proactive Behavior-You think about the situation and realize it could be dangerous. You walk over to the stove and turn the handle so that it no longer sticks out past the stove. Reactive Behavior-You see your little brother reaching for the handle of the hot pan on the stove and you shout, “Watch Out”!

  4. Be Proactive I am a responsible person. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods. I do not blame others for my wrong actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking. Responsibility-The ability to choose your response

  5. Have a Plan

  6. 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 and my community. I look for ways to be a good citizen.

  7. Work First, Then Play

  8. Put First Things First I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I shouldn’t do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organized.

  9. Everyone Can Win

  10. Think Win-Win I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want. I make deposits in others’ emotional bank accounts. When conflicts arise, I look for third alternatives.

  11. Listen Before you Talk

  12. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood I listen to other people’s ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoints. I listen to others without interrupting. I am confident in voicing my ideas. I look people in the eyes when talking.

  13. Together is Better

  14. Synergize I value other people’s strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I listen to others ideas to solve problems because together we can create better solutions. I am humble.

  15. Balance Feels Best

  16. Sharpen the Saw I take care of my body by eating right, exercising and getting sleep. I spend time with my family and friends. I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school. I find meaningful ways to help others.
