7 HABITS AT HOME
If your child has siblings, ask each to iden�fy
what they think their brother or sister is really
good at, then share the lists with each other
and discuss how they could Synergise on
homework, chores, playing games, sports, etc.
If your child does not have siblings, you can do
the same exercise using his or her friends—or
you.
