7 Habits
of Highly Successful Teens
By Sean Covey
For 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 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 their 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
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 Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful
People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the block, and no
slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies
sold. Here are his 7 habits, and some ideas for helping your teens understand
and apply them:
