4 Best Ways To Start Career Conversations With Your Child
1. Start early
Most parents consider career discussions “adult talk.” So, they wait until their kids finish high school and prepare for college before initiating career discussions.
Starting career discussions early is an excellent way to gain insights into kids’ strengths and interests. Identifying this early allows you to create opportunities for your child to enhance their strengths and prepare them for a career path that aligns with their interests.
2. Ask open-ended questions
Ask open-ended questions like “what’s most interesting about your favorite subject or sport?” “When you think about career and profession, what comes to mind?”
Questions like these pique your kids’ interests and get them to talk. This gives you a glimpse of where their passion lies and the type of career they have in mind.
3. Discuss deal breakers
Discussing your child’s deal breakers is as critical as identifying their interests. When you know the activities they prefer not to do, you can avoid presenting career options around them. So, when discussing career conversations with your child, ask them about the subjects and tasks they struggle with and have little to no interest in. If they have no interest and willingness to improve, avoid imposing it on them.
Encouraging your child to pursue a career in a field they are disinterested in may result in regret and a lack of fulfillment.
4. Keep an open mind
It’s best to keep an open mind when listening to your child’s choices. While professions like engineers, lawyers, and doctors are common career paths, they may not be your child’s preference or passion. So, it’s vital to look beyond traditional career choices and help your child pursue what they are genuinely interested in.

We had so much fun having career conversations with our little ones! I can’t believe what we have learned about who they are and what interests them. They are both so different. Wow, parenting is so hard, but it is a gift that keeps on giving for sure!

I feel like we started this process of having conversations with our teens a little late after reading the other workbooks. (We have four kids behind them!) But, better late than never and we have had very productive conversations. Thanks for helping a mom out!
