7
Habits of Highly Successful Students
By Sean
Covey
For teens,
life is not a playground, it’s a jangle. 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 the peer pressure? Mountain? 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 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 7 Habits of Highly
Successful People, which sold 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:
