Pine Island Update
Friday, Oct 16, 2020
Dear Families,
Below is a summary of each of the habits:
• Habit 1: Be Proactive (I’m Responsible for Me)
• Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind (Have a Plan)
• Habit 3: Put First Things First (Work First, Then Play)
• Habit 4: Think Win-Win (Everyone Can Win)
• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood (Listen Before You Talk)
• Habit 6: Synergize (Together Is Better)
• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw (Balance Feels Best)
In order to encourage the 7 Habits language at home, here are some questions you can ask your child:
• How were you proactive today?
• What is your end in mind with this project/work/task?
• How do you plan to put first things first in this situation?
• What would be a win-win for us?
• I want to hear what you think first and then I will share. How do you know when you are being listened to?
• How can we work together on this?
• How would you like to sharpen your saw today?
