It is never too early to start the conversation with your child(ren) about what are some things they may want to do in the future. Most people will often ask, "what would you like to be when you grow up", but that often has students trying to pick a particular job and they may find it difficult. Another question to ask would be, "what would you like to do", this question directs students to think about what tasks or skills they may want to perform. The majority of students will then explain qualities or skills that they perceive they are good at. At Green, we often use the book What Shoes Will You Wear by Julia Cook. The book presents the notion that different jobs require different shoes along with specific skill sets.
Our families are strong pillars for our students and the conversation can extend to the home about future careers. If you are interested in a question guideline please see the link below and ask/answer the questions under the student and family columns. https://www.schoolcounselor.org/asca/media/asca/Publications/ESCareerConversations.pdf
