Sean Covey adapts the seven habits for teenage concerns, using stories, cartoons, and practical suggestions. Topics include self-esteem, friendships, peer pressure, goals, family relationships, and taking responsibility for choices rather than reacting automatically to circumstances.

This companion workbook turns the seven habits into activities, self-assessments, and weekly challenges. Teens identify important principles, map personal goals, and examine relationships while practicing ways to manage social pressure, build confidence, and take constructive action.

Short daily readings help teenagers apply the seven habits to ordinary challenges. Quotations, ideas, and encouragement address self-image, friendships, peer pressure, decisions, goals, and healthier living, offering an ongoing companion to Covey’s main guide for teens.

This personal journal gives teenagers space to examine who they are, identify desired changes, and work toward their own dreams. Quotations from Covey’s teen guide provide prompts and encouragement for reflection, self-discovery, and thoughtful decision-making.

Activities and reflective exercises help teenagers put the principles of Covey’s main guide into practice. This workbook focuses on improving self-esteem, strengthening friendships, resisting peer pressure, and developing constructive habits through personal examination and practical application.

Sean Covey examines six decisions shaping adolescence: education, friendships, parents, dating and sex, addictions, and self-worth. Real teen experiences, quizzes, and cartoons support practical advice for handling pressure, weighing consequences, and choosing a direction for the future.

Seven illustrated stories follow the animal friends of 7 Oaks as they face everyday problems. Each introduces one habit through familiar situations, with discussion questions, parent guidance, and suggested activities for practicing responsibility, cooperation, and personal balance.

Stories and exercises help teens examine choices about school, friends, parents, dating, addictions, and self-worth. Designed to accompany Covey’s decision guide, the workbook encourages practical application and conversations with trusted people about the issues shaping their lives.
