This 4 week class is designed from the book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens."  This is not a required reading, though it is a great book and it would be great if your student reads it either before or after this class. There will be many realistic examples and discussion in this class.  This class is focused on the preteen ages. The schedule (and key discussion areas) goes as follows:

Week 1: 
Habit 1- Be Proactive (Thinking before you act)
