As parents, we all want our children to succeed and make the best decisions for their future. When it comes to selecting an appropriate career path, it's important to provide guidance and support without imposing our own dreams or aspirations onto our children. Here are a few aspects that we as career counsellors recommend:

• Foster open and honest communication with your children about their interests, strengths, and aspirations.

• Actively listen to your child's thoughts, concerns, and dreams.

• Provide accurate and up-to-date information about various career options, educational paths, and job prospects.

• Encourage your child to explore different career options through internships, volunteer work, part-time jobs, career seminars, or informational interviews.

• Help your child strike a balance between pursuing their passions and considering the practical aspects of a career.

• Provide emotional support, reassurance, and a safe space for your children to express their concerns and doubts.

• Encourage independence in decision-making as your children grow into adults.

Remember, the decision should ultimately be based on your child's individual preferences and aspirations. As parents, our role is to guide and support them in making the right choices for their future.
