LIM: Habit Homework for Families
Parents are our students’ first teachers. They play a big role in helping children become leaders. Let’s partner with them in their efforts to coach the social and emotional development of their children. Get started by trying these simple, yet effective, strategies for cultivating leadership at home.
- Habit Homework. Give families two to three options for a quick “habit homework” activity each week.
- Social Media Challenges. Try posting about the 7 Habits on your social media feeds. Invite families to post photos from home as part of a class or school challenge.
- Table Talks. Share these 7 Habits brainstormers and encourage families to select one or two reflective questions for “table talks” each week.
- Car Talk. Post a quote along with a reflective question on your school’s marquee or somewhere in the carpool line.
- BINGO. Roll out a Family BINGO Board each quarter. Encourage families to complete the activities and consider a door prize for families that return a completed board.
- Family Newsletters. Send home a Leader in Me family newsletter each month. Use a #hashtag to promote discussion online around the topic for each month.
These strategies ensure that students see leadership as a lifelong process, rather than something that stops when the school day ends. When parents and students practice the 7 Habits at home, students become better equipped to lead and family relationships improve. We call that a Win-Win!
