Summer employment offers many benefits for our teens, including improving time and money management, boosting self esteem, and making new friends.
When your teen shows an interest in a summer job, parents/guardians can help them navigate the process:
- Discuss their schedule and whether they have the time and and energy for a job.
- Support the process and let them know rejection is part of it.
- Set paycheck expectations and help them focus on the benefits of the experience.
