Asking a child, “what do you want to be when you grow up,” is a playful exercise, while doing so becomes more relevant during adolescence. Helping your own young clients begin the process of self-exploration and skill identification can lead them to the path of career development. Learning how to do so without pressuring the pre-teen to “make a decision” can enhance your work with them.

In this scenario, Sam Steen works again with 12-year-old Ella, but this time in a supportive and engaging client-centered way around possible career directions. While your own pre-teen clients may already feel the increasing pressure of school, you will learn how to introduce pre-vocational conversations in a non-stressful way into your clinical work with them.
