      Great book for teens, but can also for adults. My students loved learning about this book and what it had to offer them.

      I only read this because I had to... but it wasn’t horrific

      Awesome book. I got it thinking it was for adults to help them know how to parent teens, but it is actually written for teens. I want to have Alex read it. Even though it is probably written for kids a little older than her, most of it could apply now.

      This book has lots of good and simple ideas related to raising a family today but ultimately I found most of the material too corny and unrealistic to be used by most families. I found myself getting annoyed at much of the simplistic ideas and anecdotes. One cannot ignore the impact of society on others but you must embrace it positively - not all impact from modern culture is negative.

      I liked the idea of banking on yourself, but did not care for the religious overtones.

      The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is a self help book that is appropriate for MS and HS students. The 7 habits are the same as in the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, but they are presented in a more simplified way. There are lots of interesting cartoons and quotes, and a list of helpful websites in the back of the book. My favorite part is the chapter entitled “The 7 Habits of Highly Defective Teens”, which is basically, a what not to do section. This book is very popular at my school. We have five copies and it is always checked out.

      This book has turned out to be very helpful. Following the habits is very easy today with the suggestions provided. This is probably the first self help book I've ever read, but it's already my favorite.

      Excellent source and resource for teenagers -- much better rendition of the other Covey book; easier to understand and to put into practice.

      Once upon a time, Stephen Covey wrote a book called “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and sold about a bajillion copies. Then his son, Sean Covey, decided to take a page out of his father’s book and write a sequel for teens called, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.” Written in a go-go-go cheerleader’s voice, chock full of graphics, cartoons, and personal anecdotes, this book will appeal to some teens, but more likely, it will appeal to their parents.In this self-help book, Covey outlines the seven habits that teens should develop to become centered and successful. He illustrates how to cultivate these habits through stories from his own life, other teens, and successful people. While the anecdotes are useful and interesting, the interstitial explanation of how to actually develop these habits and practices might strike teens as a little hokey. But perhaps they will be drawn in by continuing to read even while rolling their eyes. I know that as I read it, I found myself mentally checking off all Covey’s tips and tricks and thinking about how I could follow this books advice the next time I had a difficult choice to make. So perhaps this sneak attack will work on teens as well.Honestly, even if the writing is a little too eager, this is a great book for teachers, librarians and counselors to read because it will give them a framework for talking about difficult topics with students (although I’m sure counselors in particular have already received that training, so maybe they don’t need to as much). There are also worksheets throughout the book for the reader to fill out; not practical for a library book of course, but good for personal copies. Basically, I would recommend this book if a student asked me for something, but it would feel presumptuous to present to a student unsolicited.For grades 8 and up.

      Covey, S. (1998). The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. New York, NY: Fireside.Sean Covey’s father wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for adults. Covey used that book to write his version for teenagers: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. The 7 Habits is based on seven characteristics or habits that “happy and successful teens have in common” (p. 9). They are the following: Habit 1: be proactive; Habit 2: begin with the end in the mind; Habit 3: put first things first; Habit 4: think win-win; Habit 5: seek first to understand, then be understood; Habit 6: synergize; and Habit 7: sharpen the saw. Covey wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens to help teens navigate through life. With each habit, Covey provides real-life stories of teenagers, jokes, illustrations, diagrams, and most importantly, the baby steps, which are practical ways to start applying the habits in one’s life. Covey writes in a casual way that appeals to teens. Yet the 7 Habits are actually very challenging. For example, Covey mentions how being proactive requires the realization that we cannot control others; we can only control our responses to others. In the back of the book, Covey provides “Info Central.” “Info Central” has a list of websites and toll free numbers of organizations that can assist those dealing with substance abuse, eating disorders, or physical abuse. This makes the book a great resource for teens in need of help.While The 7 Habits is meant for teens, having the characteristics is necessary for people to be effective individuals. The cartoons are sometimes a little childish, but overall, the book offers practical advice and hope for teenagers. This book has the right balance of serious and lighthearted content. I recommend this self-help book for any middle school or high school library. Appropriate for grades seven and above.

      I put this book on my grade 5 classroom bookshelf and told my students not to read the book, too boring. The book disappeared and reappeared time and again. At the end of the school year, in 1999, the students let me know that the book opened their eyes. Those same few students also had changed how they approached learning and being responsible to the better. They were also selected more often by the principal and the guidance counselors as rold models for different special programs, without me recommending them. ZMaleki

      This book comes with a set of discussion cards and is a wonderful book to read as a family during meals. My family has had deep heart-to-heart talks based on such discussion questions. I would recommend this book for any family seeking ways to reconnect or improve their interpersonal realtionships with each other.
