在教育教学经历中，许多家长都表示在为孩子的学习和生活效率感到担忧：精力不集中、磨蹭、浪费时间……每天的生活都像打仗一样，可是感觉该做的事情总是不能及时完成。
人的高效能是有方法的，好的习惯是提高效能的不二法门，您也许听说过《The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - 高效能人士的7个习惯》这本书，其实这本书的作者还专门针对年幼孩子和中小学生，写过另外两本着名的书：《The 7 Habits of Happy Kids》（快乐儿童的7个习惯）和《The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens》（高效能青少年的7个习惯）。
很多美国学校根据这两本书的内容，给学生们画了一个叫7个习惯树（The 7 Habits Tree）的海报，以培养孩子的好习惯，这副海报在美国中小学生教室里很常见。今天为大家详细解读一下The 7 Habits Tree，希望对家长和孩子都有帮助。
高效能孩子的7个习惯: The 7 habits Tree

1. Be proactive
2. Begin with the end in mind
3. Put first things first
