7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
By Sean Covey
For teens,
life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager
isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly
Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens
and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”
How will
they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of
a teenager is full of tough issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent,
you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help
them to reach their goals and live a successful life.
While it’s
all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you
do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you
preach. Your example can be very influential.
Covey himself
has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote
the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million
copies. Sean’s chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in
a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and
some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!
