                             7 habits of highly successful teens

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 decision. 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 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. Here are his seven highly habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them;

Work Together. There are number of ways that you can ensure you the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully.

A successful student…
… takes responsibility for his/her own learning
Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most---if not all---of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience---this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualialities to ensuring success in an online course!
… Is Comfortable and confident with written communication.
While some course contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing.

Student Successful Statement
“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”
Henry David Thoreau

Reflection: The Statement tells us that goodness will not take you to frailer. Frailer will not get you anywhere. That’s why you have to go to the goodness.

Successful Student
10
10. Successful student are good time managers. Successful student do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry Lujdewig called Ten Commandment for Effective study skills which appeared in the teaching Professor, December, 1992.
