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.
