7 Habits of
Highly Successful
By Sean Covey
For teens, life is not a
playground, it’s a jungle. And =, being the parent of the 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 their
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 is 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!!!!
