Having a Job Just Like Recess: a Parent's Manual for Guiding and Gracing Your Child's Career Path Mark H. De Roo

As a parent, you must wear all the hats: doctor, disciplinarian, nutritionist, counselor, coach, entertainer, educator, etc. How about "career counselor?" For most parents, that hat doesn't fit as comfortably. Many parents feel the extent of their career guidance is contained in these encouraging words of wisdom, "You'll be great at anything you do!" While such support is helpful, it lacks the steps, activities, and essential tools that eventually result in a meaningful and successful career path for their kids. This book provides those tools. It offers ideas and insights for parents of a child at any age. It recognizes each of us parent and child as God's creation whose greater purpose can be fulfilled through our vocation. Parents will find its easy-to-read style anything but work. In fact, the book makes the career planning process invigorating and fun just like recess!
