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 always
any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habitats 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?
Motivations? 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, wrote a 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 more than 2 million
copies sold here are his 7 habits, and some ideas for helping your teen
understand and apply them:
Choose The Right!!!
