Student Career Advice for Parents
High school can be stressful for adolescents, as it is a time where they must deal with a lot of rapid change in their lives. During this period, you may find your son or daughter either turning to you for advice, or growing distant.
It is important to recognise that you are a huge influence on your child, and you can help to provide support during the decision making process as they plan for their future.

“Thank you so much Karen for your work with E, I almost want to cry. Finding your place within the workforce is sooooo important, I just want her to be somewhere that utilises her hard work, kindness and fun personality. We had a family chat at the dinner table last night and she said she feels much better and feels like she is now headed in the right direction and has some clarity of what she feels is going to best suit her. Thank you. I am very grateful for your help.”
— Tara, mother
“…both M & T are happy with their choices, but if they have any questions, I’ll reach out to you. I can say that your help was invaluable with them reaching their decisions, so I’d like to express my heartfelt thanks to you. You did get them through that difficult time when the choices in life seem insurmountable. It’s such a big decision everyone expects of young people but you really did help to give them some idea of who they are and where their talents lie.”
