"What is 'effectiveness' in a family?" asks author StevenR. Covey. He promptly answers with four words: "a beautiful familyculture." Building this culture is the primary theme of Covey'sparenting guide, a manual based on concepts introduced in hisblockbuster, The 7Habits of Highly Effective People. Covey, a New-Age businessguru and leadership authority, has consulted with the world's topcorporate and political leaders, but closer to home he is the fatherof nine children. Here, Covey reinterprets each of his now famous"habits" (Habit 1: Be Proactive, Habit 4: Think Win-Win, Habit 6:Synergize) to apply to parenting and family-life issues. Coveysuggests writing a family mission statement, implementing specialfamily times and "one-on-ones," holding regular family meetings, andmaking the commitment to move from "me" to "we" as techniques toimprove family effectiveness. Covey is a brilliant storyteller. Byweaving the voices and anecdotes of his wife and children with his owninspirational and informative stories, exercises, and parables, he hascreated a book with something for all parents interested in enhancingthe strength and beauty of their own families. --Ericka Lutz
Product Description:
From the author of the #1 bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey's new bestseller offers precious lessons in creating and sustaining a strong family culture in a turbulent world. No family is free from challenges. But a strong family embodies a problem-solving culture in which parents and children act interdependently, appropriately, and positively. It is a culture that enables all family members to experience the joy, satisfaction, and integrity of living their principles day by day. In his first major work since The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen R. Covey presents a practical and philosophical guide to solving the problems, large and small, mundane and extraordinary - that confront all families at one time or another. With clarity and common sense, Covey demonstrates how the basic principles of the original book are the key to building strong families and strong communities. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families is an invaluable guidebook to the welfare of families everywhere. Stephen R. Covey is recognized by Time magazine as one of North America's twenty-five most influential people. He is chairman of the Franklin Covey Company.

I believe this text is a good resource especially after parents have used the texts "The 7 Habvits of Effectivce Teens" to discuss situations with their teens.It is the one good step followup so that both parents and other siblings communicate with each other and do not present divisiveness among themselves.
