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 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 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:
