How you can help
You can help by supporting your child’s participation in Youth Pathways. Support may be varied—it could be helpful to show an interest in the transition plan and offer assistance to get some of the activities completed. On the other hand, it may be best to give your child some space to work through their plan themselves. In any case, it is very beneficial to encourage them to work at the things that need doing, and praise them for those things that are achieved. Of course, parents can only be involved with their child’s permission.Research indicates that parents are one of the most commonly consulted and influential sources of career information and advice for their children. It’s not unusual to feel overwhelmed by this responsibility. There are a lot of new and different opportunities open to today’s young people and it can be hard to stay on top of this information. Career Advice Australia can help by connecting you to the right people and the right sources of information.
