7 Habits of Highly Successful
Teens
By
Sean Covey
For teen, 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 problem 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 learn 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.
