7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
By Sean Covey
Foe teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And the
parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teen,
author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their
parents navigate the problem 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 is well and good to tell kids how to live their
lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covet
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 that respectable 2 million
copies sold. Here are his own seven habits, and some ideas for helping your
teen understand and apply them:
