Sean Covey's 7 Habits of Happy Kids

Raising kids is never any easy thing to do — for any parent. But parenting becomes a lot more enjoyable and easier when your kids are happy.

So how can we keep our kids care free all of the time?

Sean Covey, author of 'The 7 Habits of Happy Kids,' shares his secret:

• Habit No. 1: Be Proactive

Kids must do what makes them happy. If they say I am bored, I will ask what are you going to do?

• Habit No. 2: Begin With End in Mind

Have a plan to have fun. Write down goals.

• Habit No. 3: Put First Things First

Complete the work and you have the rest of the time to play.

• Habit No. 4: Think Win-Win

Always think about others and yourself. Make it a win-win situation.

• Habit No. 5: Seek First to Understand, Then Be Understood

Listen before you talk.

• Habit No. 6: Synergize

Think and complete activities that families can do together.

• Habit No. 7: Sharpen the Saw

Be balanced — all parts of you must be complete to be happy.
