Introduction
A key part of parenting or caring for older children is being involved in their career decisions. Parents and other caregivers know more about the realities of the world of work than teenagers and can be a useful guide on their career decision-making journey. It has long been said that teenagers need to know that their parents and caregivers are interested in them even if they find it hard to show that they need such engagement.
