What your child may be going through
- Trying new subjects, hobbies and friend groups
- Interests that change often, which is healthy and normal
- Not yet thinking about jobs, but strongly shaped by what adults say
How you can help
Let them try things
Clubs, sports, art, coding or reading. Aim for curiosity, not perfection.
Praise effort
Notice how hard they tried and what they learned, not only the marks.
Share what you notice
Tell them when they lose track of time doing something. It helps them see their own strengths.
Show real jobs
Talk about the work of family, friends and people in stories so careers feel real.

- If you had a free afternoon, what would you build, make or learn?

Timetables, deadlines and asking teachers for help are skills worth learning early.

Meet people at work
A short conversation with someone in a field they like is worth many web pages.
Compare on fit
Weigh interest, strengths, effort and opportunities, not only pay or status.
