Family Reflections
Review the 7 Habits' with your family. Are there any Habits that seem to be more challeng­ ing to you than others? How can you work as a team to incorporate all of the Habits into your lives?

I personally think Synergizing is hardest. When a person wants one thing and another person wants another thing, it's hard to combine where they want to go. For example, if I want to go to PNE and my mother wants to go to the Vancouver Museum on the same day, it's hard to find where we want to go. In the end, we just decided to go to PNE that day and go to the Vancouver Museum another day. That is half win-lose and half win-win.
