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.”

a teenager is full of tough issues and life- changing decisions. As a parents,

them to reach their goals and live a successful life.

do more than they listen to what you say,” Convey says. So practice what you
preach. Your example can be very influential.

copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung is a more than respectable 2 million copies
sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen
