[Notes by Zhao Wu]
Is there any way to help my children develop these habits? I certainly hope so.
Stephen Covey , he thinks it is possible. Even later, in the next few books of this book, his work gradually began to apply these seven habits in various environments, one of which was family. He believes that the family is actually like any organization. These seven habits can also be applied to every member of the family. He even suggested that a family also needs to write its own mission statement.
That sounds heavy, but I think this is not a way we can think about it. In other words, in terms of a family today, what do we care about most? What you care most about is happiness. It’s that children’s studies are a way to break through our current economic state, and to make their lives better. In fact, there are all kinds of different goals that we set now. These whole families can actually reach a consensus.
Although children are children, you should not treat them as completely without their own ideas and opinions. In fact, we can treat the child as a member of our organization. Our teammates are the same, but they are younger.
Let them know the mission of our family. This is also a good start.
So I want to say, how to help our children develop these seven habits, maybe at the beginning, we must first cultivate these habits, and then we need to set our own policies and know us What is your mission statement. For a family,
and then we may want to help our children to exercise. For example, we can draw this four-square grid, help the children to discharge first, and say, what are the things you usually do? It is urgent and which is important, so that they can understand the various ways of handling in this four-square grid. At the beginning, maybe all of their things will put it in unimportant, not urgent, but slowly let them be able to When I came to distinguish his difference,Come to help them, you can observe your own thinking all the time, and take responsibility for your actions.
In fact, this is the first habit. Should you take responsibility for yourself? This is a proactive habit.
I think this is the most important thing. If everyone in the family can understand how to take responsibility for their actions and their emotions.
This is the beginning of a very happy family. Isn't it?
