Career Coaching Your Kids Guiding Your Child Through the Process of Career Discovery

Believe it or not, children need, appreciate and even seek career guidance from their parents. But often parents find it difficult to gauge the right level of involvement. Career Coaching Your Kids gives parents the help they need. Completely updated and revised in this new edition, it emphasizes the value of parental support and, more important, shows parents how to help rather than hinder their children's process of career discovery. Drawing on their collective experience in various types of career counseling and their continued research, the authors clearly describe the lifelong process of career decision making. They identify the different roles parents can play at each stage and the appropriate steps to take as children progress and grow into adulthood. Matching key events in the development of children, adolescents, and young adults with the parental tasks necessary to guide but not dictate career choice, Career Coaching Your Kids provides hands-on tools and tips, along with vivid examples and stories, aimed at helping children explore career options. New in this edition: a new preface, an additional new chapter, an expanded Parent Tool Kit and for the first time, exercises for kids by age group.
