7 Habits of Highly Successful Teen
By Sean Covey
For teens, life is not a
playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenage 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 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 parents 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.
