Sean Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is intended as a guide to help teens improve themselves and become successful in life. Its primary focuses are how to take control of your life, set and achieve goals, build friendships, maintain quality relationships, withstand peer pressure, and improve self-image. It consists of seven habits- Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood, Synergize, and Sharpen the saw. These habits are each designed to help you lead your best life. From this book, I have learned to take care of and love myself, maintain healthy relationships with others, work towards my goals, and resist anything that could potentially harm me or prevent me from doing these things.

After reading the online article “10 Great Things Teens Learn While “Playing” Online” by Christy Matte and the magazine article “ Teens and the Internet: How Much is Too Much? “ by Stephanie Newman , it is clear that teens should be limited to the amount of time used online daily. The use of the internet may be beneficial; it all depends on how the student uses it. Teens should not be able to use a significant about of time online because it affects their social isolation, physical and also mental health.

Over the summer, I read a book titled, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Convey. The seven habits described in this book were being proactive, Beginning with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize, and sharpen the saw. The first habit Being proactive means not to make choices on impulse. it means to evaluate the situation before making a desicion. for example, two years ago when i had friends that talked behind my back i just moved on and found better friends rather than be mean to them or excluding them out of my way. The second habit Beginning with the end in mind means to think ahead at what your goals are and start working towards them. My goal for the eight grade year was to recieve a 95% or higher score in all of my classes. in order to realize this goal i worked hard through the year on assignments and and sometimes did more than what was expected of me during projects. in the end, though,

To exist is to live a life without purpose, although to live, it is one of the greatest adventures anyone could experience. It does not matter how big or small, every organism is put on the earth for a reason. In Sean Covey’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, he teaches teenagers how to have a part in the world. He includes real life stories and quotes to relate to his readers while delivering a message. His award winning book has sculpted teenage lives with over five million copies sold. Sean Covey’s seven habits have effected countless lives including mine. Three specific habits prompted me to adjust my life and I have discovered the habits in additional people.

In addition, this book succeeds in terms of depicting real life situations to young children. As presented in the story, Reed’s father lost his job; thus, causing him to move back in with

When reading this story, readers learn the importance of growing up and how family can never be taken for

From a very early age my Dad had taught me resilience. I didn’t even know what that word was as a little girl, but I knew exactly what it meant. Never giving up. The way your character grows, the different perspective you see things, and the content feeling of accomplishment. My Dad inspires me to go above and beyond expectations, and has always told me to set a goal and go for it. I give him a lot of credit for my academic, and athletic achievements due to him always displaying his hard work ethic, and his involvement in my life.

Educators need to understand that not all children have both parents in their household. There are large groups of kids who have parents in person. From The Night Dad Went to Jail, Higgins presents a statistic that states, “One in every 43 kids in the United States has a mom or dad in prison. Sixty-five percent of men in prison are dads and 75 percent of women in prison are moms”. (Higgins). Clearly, this shows there are more children with incarcerated parents then some people assume. Since the 1980’s, there’s been a steady increase in the amount of people sent tor prison, and there is not a sign of the number of prisoner decreasing. Making this a perfect opportunity to help those children with parent in prison to understand there are other children going to same experience. An easy way to start assisting those children is by having them read a story that is relatable to them and make feel less isolated.

So I read the book Tex and its about a 14 year old boy who lost his mom to pneumonia. His dad is on a trip to the east and was suppose to be back a couple months ago. Him and his brother rely on each other they have no one else in there life. They do not get along very good but they know they only have each other. This book is a good one for those kids who are always fighting with there older siblings or maybe dont talk to them. It reveals the truth about a lot of things. That are fought about on a regular basis at home.

As a young girl, I never quite understood the importance my dad’s job had on me until I became much older. Throughout my childhood I was often mistreated out of the sight of my parents. From brutal words to simple exclusion, I never really fit in at my church. I was constantly separated from all of the children because I was the Pastor’s

Many people do not realize the importance of their parents. Your parents have taken care of you since you were born. They provide you with comfort and fulfill your needs. Many people take this for granted and does not realize how much they actually need and rely on their parents. The short story “Crusader Rabbit” written by Jess Mowry in 1991 tells the story of an orphan drowned in addiction. The orphan is saved by a man from his addiction and develops a special bond with this stranger, who fulfills his needs, and fills the gap of his parents. The bond between the two; Raglan and Jeremy is unlike a normal bond between a parent and their child. But regardless of it being unusual it still helps the child to get back on track and live his life with a caring parent.

As you can see 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens has impacted my life in a way I did not expect it to. It taught me many different things about life that I was unable to realize on my own. By reading other teens stories it made me realize im not the only one going through these confrontations. All in all I have very impressed with the changes I have made after reading this

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey is a modified version of his father’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Unlike Stephen Covey, who wrote his book with the audience of adults in mind, his son’s book is targeted towards teens. “ Covey avoids the academic writing style that one will find in Stephen’s and delivers the seven habits model in an easy to read, humorous style that does not lose any of the impact of the seven habits” (Change Management Coach). Being both entertaining and visually appealing, Covey goes deep into the seven habits while adding life experiences of both him and family. Included are also the stories of teens around the country. Each habit builds upon the next; therefore you cannot have habit two and three without habit one. Although together, the habits makeup an effective teen, separately, they each help in different ways, mentally and socially.

This theme is very important in real life. I feel this way because if you don't step in and help some one who you can see is going through a rough time will always remember, and will always also remember if you help them. As seen in the book, Hannah remembered everything that contributed. I feel this story will help people change how they think.

I know for certainty that this is a habit I desperately need to acquire because mostly everything that I do is based on urgency. I always feel like I 'm working with unreasonable deadlines. I know that I 'll be more effective and productive once I 've been able to prioritize my tasks based on importance rather than urgency.
