Be your child's decision partner, not their career selector.
Parents can make a significant difference by asking better questions, listening carefully and understanding their child's strengths and interests. This guide provides practical perspectives for supporting students through Classes 6-12 and important academic decisions.
Most parents want to help and are not sure what helping looks like at this age. It rarely looks like advice. It looks like asking a better question, noticing what your child does when nobody has set them a task, and being able to sit with an answer you did not want. This guide is written for Classes 6 to 12, one stage at a time, with the conversations that tend to work at each of them.
What the guide covers
- Questions to ask, stage by stage, from Class 6 to Class 12.
- What to do when your reading of your child differs from the report.
- How to disagree with a choice without ending the conversation.

The evidence behind all of this — who you would speak to, and what we will not claim — sits on the Parents page, where it belongs to the whole audience rather than to one service.
