It may also help the parents of younger children to start guiding their children early on in order prepare them, avoiding the potential pitfalls along the way. By doing the activities in this book, a young person will be engaged in a journey of self-discovery that will gradually help them to identify and choose a suitable career; this will in turn create focus and motivation to work hard towards a good future, reducing or possibly even preventing behavioural problems that can occur as a result of lack of focus and motivation in school.
