Want a Happy Kid? January 6, 2009
Nowadays, people must be organized in order to get everything done in a timely manner. Children are no exception. This book is a tool that parents and grandparents will enjoy using and the kids will enjoy it as well. The illustrations are well done, the stories entertaining, the characters engaging and the 7 Habits are a good, effective beginning for every child (and adult). Children have always thrived on structure and in today's stressful world, teaching them timeless values and principles will enable them to figure out how to take charge of their own lives. 7 Habits will help make any parent's life a little easier.

In 7 Oaks all kids are friends and learning something new together. Here seven illustrated stories demonstrate how to keep the 7 Habits in mind through life's byways and possibilities, pairing amusing stories with values and principles based in the adult 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE. Parents wishing to start their kids off early in the program will find this a most accessible, important approach that deserves space in any parent's library.br /
Kids love this book December 4, 2008
As soon as we received this book in the mail, my kids were fighting over it. My eight year old has sat for hours reading and looking at the illustrations in this book. Not only is it appealing visually, but it also teaches good values. I highly recommend this book.
 Good addition to the book collection November 11, 2008

The book reads well and can be used as the child grows. Initially a younger chil will like the stories and need some explaination but as you read the stories over and the child grows they can make out their oun interpretations of the habits (with some guidence of the parents).
It works!!! October 27, 2008

When I saw this book, I had to laugh.....another product trying to cash in on the success of the original (7 Habits of Highly Effective People). Except that I LOVE the original. So I bought it, expecting mediocre stories but an opportunity to discuss the 7 habits with my children.br /br /To my surprise, the stories themselves are actually decent. On their own, I'd give them 3 stars. To rate the potential this book has to teach, though, I'd give it 5 stars.

Except that I LOVE the original. So I bought it, expecting mediocre stories but an opportunity to discuss the 7 habits with my children.br /br /To my surprise, the stories themselves are actually decent. On their own, I'd give them 3 stars. To rate the potential this book has to teach, though, I'd give it 5 stars. Each habit has a story that illustrates it, a little tidbit for parents to read, questions to discuss with your child, and several suggestions on how a CHILD can implement that habit. The suggestions are great; I wouldn't have thought of many of them on my own.br /br /We've been focusing on a habit a week. We read the story Sunday, discuss it, talk about some of the suggestions my kids would like to try, and then work on it over the week. My husband and I try to make a big deal of it every time we see one of the kids coming through. I'm amazed! Already, my 8 and 5 year-olds are going out of their way to be proactive and plan things out and just plain take responsibility for themselves. Not only that, they liked the stories enough to sneak the book away and read all seven of them on the first day.br /br /I think the original 7 Habits is right on the mark, so I'm thrilled to find an age appropriate way to share it with my children.
