Career Coaching Your Kids: Guiding Your Child Through the Process of Career Discovery - Softcover

CAREER COACHING YOUR KIDS, completely revised and updated in this second edition, gives parents the help they need. Drawing on their collective experience in college-level counseling, career counseling in major corporations, and community service work with high school students and their parents, the authors describe in detail the lifelong process of career decision making. They identify the different roles parents can play at each stage and the most 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 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.

This new edition, based on the authors' continued research, offers a new preface, updated text, and an expanded Parent Tool Kit, and also includes exercises for children to complete--a feature requested by parents themselves.
