7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens

Is a book by Sean Covey that provides the opportunity to explore

the development of positive habits that help secure and maintain a

productive life.

I teach this class two days a week as a related arts class for the 8th

Habits are things we do repeatedly, but most of the time we are

hardly aware that we have them. Some habits are good such as:

Exercising

Planning ahead

And some are not so good:

Staying up late at night

Smoking

Reading magazines from back to front

Eating pudding with a fork

We look at habits that will help them to do well in school.
