Teenagers follow in their parents footsteps. It is true. Some of them follow in their friends footsteps. If your teenager knows right from wrong then you are safe from worries. If your child is a daredevil then just have them becareful. Follow them more, ask the questions, never fear them. The only way to
understand them is by communicating with them. If you do not communicate then it can lead to a lack of trust. Without communication then there is not trust.

Love them, hold them and bond with them. They are your children growing up into fine people. Teenagers only learn from what they know. A parent’s role in career guidance is to provide direction and support. With these tools readily available, teenagers can have the confidence to go forward in that direction, taking the first step toward a fulfilling their career dreams in the future. You can only do your best with them. No teenager is perfect.
