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 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.

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 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 your teen
understand and apply them :
