An Awesome Book! 
2008-09-16
This was a wonderful book, chock full of expert knowledge and helpful strategies for life! So many things in here have really hit home for me, and I'm reading it again with a study group, it just gets better and better. Sean Covey is an amazing author and I heartily recommend this book.
6 Decisions... great conversation starter with your teen! 2008-08-08
I purchased this initially as a read aloud with my teens, but my 12 year old wanted to read it on her own... she has enjoyed reading it then asking me some questions concerning the issues in the book. The six topics address issues: school, friends, parents, dating and sex, addictions,self-worth, all issues that helped start some great conversations with my child.
*****!!!!
Great bonding opportunity 2008-07-17
I read this book to my 10-year-old, and it helped me broach topics that I probably would have had a difficult time talking about and created opportunities for the two of us to bond that would have never happened otherwise. The book may broach topics that are too mature for some 10-year-olds (e.g., pornography, drugs, etc.), but I feel fortunate to have been the first to introduce these topics to my son. As we read the book, he sought me, asking specifically for me to read more of the book to him. It was clear that he was not only interested in the book, but he enjoyed the experience of us sharing the information. As a result, we were now able to talk about drugs, alcohol, sex, school, and numerous other topics because those topics are introduced in the book. One of the things that I appreciate most about the book is the fact that it not only provides recommendations about six important decisions that all teens will face, but it also provides numerous anecdotes and statistics in support of those recommendations.
AMAZING BOOK!!! 2008-07-12
This is my 14 yr old daughters favorite book. After starting the book and reading for 45 minutes, she looks up and says, "Mom, I'm Not Losing My Mind!" This book lets every kid know they are not alone in their feelings and fears. My 11 year old can't wait to read it. She has skimmed chapters and knows it will help her with her questions and insecurities.
BOUGHT ONE FOR EACH OF MY TEENS 
2008-06-09
|I checked this book out of the library and was so impressed I bought one for my 14 year old daughter and 16 year old son. I wrote on the inside covers and laid the books on their beds, I have seen them both with their books and pages folded down. It really has some good advice on conducting yourself in a way that will pave a way for a better future and gain trust and respect from adults.
Probably would have helped me when I was a teen 2008-05-27

My 14 year old son loves this book! 2007-12-06
I bought the book wondering if my son would read it. (It looked great to me.) I didn't give it as a gift, I just had it on the table. He picked it up, asked "what's this?" Because I didn't want to be shoving 'life instructions' down his throat, I said I had picked it up, didn't know if it was any good, but he could look at it, let me know if it was worthwhile. He disappeared to his room with it, and never gave it back. Months later, I still find him with that book. He even quoted something in the book to his younger brother!
It seemed to give him greater confidence in himself. Now I'm buying one for the younger brother to have as his own.
My sons will read it. 2007-11-08
I often buy books and leave them on the coffee table hoping my sons, 13 and 11, will pick them up and read them. They usually don't. But without a word from me, I have found both of them reading this book many times. I am pleased.
The 6 Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make: A Guide for Teens 2007-10-05
Excellent tool for parents with pre-teens and teens to help get them thinking about decisions that will effect the rest of their lives. Written in a way that will appeal to teenagers.
A definite must for teenagers 2007-09-12
I bought this for my 13 year old son, and we both listened to it together. It talked about dating, procrastination, choices, and relationships with parents. I enjoyed it and my son grasped the major concepts, but I think he is not at the dating or choices level, we will listen to it again right before he starts high school and we will continue to listen to it periodically throughout his high school life.
