Research shows that young people look to parents as the biggest single influence on their choice of career.
Parents may not realise it, but their family will actively look for signs of approval and encouragement – however vague or explicit these may be.
The purpose of this activity is to bring into the open the expectations that your child may have of you.
Download the activity sheet below to your computer. Work through it with your child - ticking 'yes' or 'no' for each statement.
A message to parents
- How realistic are these expectations?
- Were there any challenges or surprises?
- Talking them through is the first step in planning together.
