When you make something good into a habit it will make you a better person and when you make a bad habit you won't be good at all. You can make your own good or bad habits. You need to get used to a good habit, doing it repetitive number of times and you will automatically do it without thinking after a couple of weeks.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teen

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.
