The Ultimate Parent Survival Guide

parents_idontmuteBuilding a Lasting Relationship with Your Teen

Parenting is one of the biggest joys in life—and also one of the biggest challenges! I’ve often heard it said that there should be an owner’s manual for each kid when he or she is born. Wouldn’t that make it a little easier? Unfortunately, we both know that doesn’t happen.

Each child who comes into your family is unique and so what works with one won’t necessarily work with another. And what works for a 5-year-old certainly isn’t going to work with a teen. Because I have worked with teens extensively and written two books specifically geared to them, I want to give you some survival tips that may help you get through these teen years and still come out alive—both you and your teen!

parents_conclusionIn this brief Survival Guide I share some key concepts and ideas that continue to surface with the teens I encounter through my research, keynote speeches, and focus groups. Some of them may seem impossible for you to imagine considering the state your relationship with your teen may be in right now, but I assure you that with patience and perseverance, they will work over time. How do I know this? Because much of it is what teens themselves tell me they want and need and because everything is based on sound, proven principles.

So give it a shot. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

 

Teen Covey I: The 7 Habits for Highly Effective Teens

7hsLife for teens today is no longer a playground. It’s a jungle out there, with tough choices, peer pressure, personal insecurities, and anxiety about what others think. Then consider feelings of depression, inferiority, and jealousy of others’ successes, plus self-destructive behaviors such as pornography, vandalism, and gangs.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens® workshop from FranklinCovey, based on the best-selling book of the same name by Sean Covey and the No. 1 best-selling business book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey, gives young people a set of proven tools to deal successfully with real life.

In school, this training is a means fto help improve student performance; reduce conflicts, disciplinary problems, and truancy; and enhance cooperation and teamwork among parents, teens, and teachers.

TeenCovey2The challenges teens face today are tougher than at any time in history: academic stress, parent communication, media bombardments, dating drama, abuse, bullying, addictions, depression, and negative peer pressure, just to name a few. And like it or not, the choices teens make while navigating these challenges can make or break their futures.

In The 6 Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make, Sean Covey, author of the international bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, gives teens the strong advice they need to make informed and wise decisions. Using real stories from teens around the world, Sean shows teens how to succeed in school, make good friends, get along with parents, wisely handle dating and sex issues, avoid or overcome addictions, build self-esteem, and much more. This innovative workshop will help teens not only survive, but thrive during their teen years and beyond.

 

Collegiate Covey: 7 Habits of Highly Effective College Students

7_habitsDeciding on classes, studying for next week’s finals, choosing a major, and holding down a job to pay for it all. Balancing activities, course work, and social lives. Being away from home and adjusting to a new campus environment. Today’s college students are busy with many demands competing for their time. Are they prepared? Help your students focus on their end in mind. Provide them with the skills to succeed in college and become effective leaders—for life.

Franklin Covey’s 7 Habits workshop—based on Stephen Covey’s best-selling book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People—has transformed the lives of thousands of people worldwide.
