or teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being
the parent of a teenage isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 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 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
Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s
a chip of the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than
respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are seven habits, and some ideas for
helping your teen understand and apply them.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
