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 for each 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 a 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!
