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 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 parents, 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 Covey, wrote the
book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful
People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s chips 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:
