Habit 2: Began With the End in Mind

If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision- making process.

“Keep your eyes on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Began with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school- that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity- that you earned it with perfect honesty.

Habit 1

Habit 1: be productive

Being productive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings.

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 top help them learn the principles and ethnics 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 7 habits of highly successful people, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold.
