Stephen Covey on Raising Happy Kids – USA Weekend
Dr. Stephen R. Covey, best-selling author and Contributing Editor to USA Weekend, was recently featured in the newspaper supplement, which is in print in more than 600 newspapers. The article, “How to raise a happy child,” featured advice from Covey. In his latest book, The Leader in Me: How Schools and Parents Around the World are Inspiring Greatness, One Child at a Time, Covey applies his 7 Habits as they relate to education, parenting, elementary schools and kindergartner students. The habits help children to develop personal leadership and character.
Covey suggested the following to parents in the article:
- Parents can help their children be successful by affirming their children’s worth and potential in a way that inspires them to feel it is so. Children don’t derive their sense of self from being compared with other people. True success comes from character and not just from being rich and famous.
- A family mission statement is vital and should deal with the four parts of life – - mind, body, heart and spirit. It should also focus serving others, whether it’s working at a food bank or helping friends who come from dysfunctional families.
“Greatness is never a given. It must be earned.” –Barack Obama
In writing this week about Barack Obama we’re not trying to capitalize on his popularity (although we love Ben and Jerry’s new ice-cream flavor “Yes PeCan”).
But the new President of the United States undeniably seems to know something about greatness.
Somehow he has earned the loyalty of a lot of people. During his campaign 10,000 young people crowded into a Washington, D.C., rally and gladly tossed $15 into a pot to sign up as volunteers. Greeters with laptops took their e-mail addresses. This scene was repeated hundreds of times across the U.S. › Continue reading
We enable greatness in people and organizations everywhere.
Hello to thousands of our friends worldwide on the new FranklinCovey blog.
What is this blog about? Well, our FranklinCovey mission is to enable greatness in people and organizations everywhere.
It sounds pretty ambitious to help everybody become great. It sort of depends on how you define the word “great.” Maybe you feel a little weary just reading our mission statement-I know I do. Sometimes just getting up in the morning is a “great” accomplishment.
But at FranklinCovey it’s a mission we deeply believe in.
This is what we mean by our mission: We’d like to help you and everybody else live a great life.
What could be a more energizing mission than that?
That’s why we’ve started this blog.
We’re going to discover among ourselves what it means to live a great life-how you personally can live a great life-and how together we can help other people live a great life.
When you come to this blog you’ll be blown away by the ideas for living not just a pleasant life, a secure life, a nice life-but a truly great life. › Continue reading
