7 habits of highly
successful Teens
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 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:
