A recent study showed that habits learned before the age of nine are the ones that stick.
When I read this I thought wow I am long off and way overdue for some kind of habit re-construction in my own life!
But I have a chance to redeem this being the parent of a six and seven-year-old. It is something that I took to heart. I knew that if I wanted my kids to perform better habits in their adult life I needed to start right away with them.
A couple things I have started doing to instill better habits in myself and my kids include:
- Starting in the morning we will read one chapter of the best success book ever written (Bible).
- Following that we also take notes on it and then we just started a children’s personal development program by Caleb Maddox. It’s awesome.
- And without our health we really can’t do much … so I’ve prioritized cooking in the kitchen at least three times a week.
Would love to know some things that you do to help instill better habits with your kiddos at an early age, leave your comments below!
