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 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 principals 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 you teen understand and apply
them:
