Junior high and high school are the exploration phases of their career development. Children begin to think about their future direction, and parents can serve as key companions and guides.

Exploration before career choice is the most important. Having sufficient and diverse exploration experiences can help children discover their interests, abilities and values. After the activity, parents can help their children understand themselves through asking questions and having discussions.

When children express interest in a certain career field, you can find learning experience and workers in this field from relatives and friends, visit and share, so that children can have a clearer understanding of this career field and help them find a path that suits them. In addition, don’t forget to share your own experiences in the workplace. Whether success or setbacks, they are valuable references for your children.

In case, your child’s choice is inconsistent with your expectations, please try to understand the reasons behind it. In this rapidly changing era, parents' preconceived impressions of careers are changing all the time. After children enter society, they will find many jobs that did not exist in the past. What children need are families who can understand and support them, rather than making their future a continuation of their parents' dreams.

Accompanying children to explore themselves is more valuable than pre-set answers. The future belongs to them, and parents will always be their most steadfast support.
