If you’re familiar with self-help books, then you may have already read the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Dr. Stephen Covey. Having sold over 15 million copies worldwide, the book has become a must have for college graduates, professionals, parents and anyone trying to lead a better life.

The 7 principles are so powerful that school teachers were trying to adapt them to their educational curriculums. Dr. Covey’s son, Sean Covey quickly realized the benefits of the 7 Habits for kids and adapted them in the new children’s book 7 Habits of Happy Kids. 

This illustrated book shares the habits through seven stories featuring the Seven Oaks Friends. The stories show the Seven Oaks Community practicing the 7 Habits while having fun, being creative and learning.

Each chapter of the book also has a great section called the “Parent’s Corner” which helps parents draw out the habits and apply them to the child’s life. Some simple questions and activities really help kids understand the stories and also help the book come alive.

Below is a short clip from the CBS Early Show featuring Sean Covey speaking about 7 Habits of Happy Kids.
