7 habits of Highly Successful
Teens
By Sean Covey
For teens, life in 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 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 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.
