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:
