Habit 4: Think Win win

Picture
Parent Resources- *The information below comes from 'The Leader in Me' Parent Guide.

Think Win-Win is the belief that everyone can win.  It is the belief that there is enough good to go around.  Thinking win-win is an abundant way of thinking.  It is being happy for others when good comes their way.  It is finding a solution to a problem where both parties feel happy with the decision.  As a parent, not everything is negotiable, but if you go in with a win-win mindset you will see less resistance. 

Younger Child Activities-
1. Play a game with your child that has a definite winner.  Explain that competition is okay when you play games, but it is not okay in relationships.  Discuss how tense it would be     in our home if every situation had to have a winner.  A better way to think is win-win.  This means we think of solutions that we can all feel good about when there is a  problem.  The more we Think Win-Win, the fewer problems there will be.  You may want to display a chart listing the days of the week.  When someone is "caught" thinking  win-win, he or she gets to write his or her name on the chart for that day.
2. Encourage win-win solutions to sibling disputes.  Don't always be the mediator; let them work out a solution and be sure to lavish children with praise when they do.
3. If you have "The 7 Habits of Happy Kids" book, read chapter 4 with your children and then complete the Parent's Corner
