Developed out of a recognized need for practical, career-related suggestions, this booklet was designed for parents to use with their children. Eight major subtopics considered important by career educators are used to group the information: (1) Career awareness, (2) attitudes and appreciations, (3) self-awareness, (4) decision-making, (5) economic awareness, (6) education awareness, (7) employability skills, and (8) beginning competency. Within each section are statements on career education followed by suggestions to parents for enhancing their child's career development. The statements and suggestions are representative of those contained in the professional literature on career education and career development. Although each item is placed in only one of eight categories, most contribute to two or more of them. The placement was arbitrary in order to avoid repetition, and also because of space limitations.
