Habit of the Month February: Synergize I value other people's strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people's ideas because I know that by teaming with others, we can create better solutions than what any one of us could alone. I look for Third Alternatives. Parent Tip of the Week: Combining your genius with your friends genius… is GENIUS!
March: Sharpen the Saw
I eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep (body). I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school (brain). I spend time with family and friends (heart). I take time to find meaningful ways to help people (soul). I balance all four parts of myself. Parent Tip of the Week: Take time for yourself so you can be your best self.
