Helping Kids & Teens Find Direction - with Career Coach Jason Levin

As parents, we can plant the seeds, but our kids have to do the growing themselves.

That's a great-sounding quote, but it's not always easy for us parents to swallow.

Why? Because we want our kids to succeed, we want the best for them.

As a result, it can be so hard to find that balance between a nudge in the right direction and letting them take their own steps, versus leading them hand-in-hand down the path with the idea of protecting them so that they don’t fail…..which, as anyone who’s followed me long enough knows, is a sure way lead to failure in the end.

So whether you have young kids or a teen who’s off to college, the question becomes this:How do we help our kids and teens find direction, to find themselves and their own path, without inserting OURselves in the way? How do we nudge our kids in a way that helps them become who they want to be?

To get the answer, I turned to career and outplacement coach Jason Levin...and the result is an episode that might help both kids & parents find our own paths
