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 Successful
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 of 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 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 more than respectable 2 million copies sold.
Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and
apply them:
CHOOSE the RIGHT!!
