Can't I Just Help My Kid Pick a Path?: A Career + College Survival Guide for Parents Who Want to Get It Right

By Jennifer Larsen

Your teen's future feels like a high-stakes guessing game. College? Trade school? A gap year? A job? You just want to help-without pushing too hard or saying the wrong thing.

This book is for you.

Written in a calm, conversational tone, Can't I Just Help My Kid Find a Path? is a guide for parents who want to be supportive without hovering, encouraging without panicking, and honest without shutting their teen down. You'll learn how to guide your child through career and college decisions with clarity, empathy, and smart strategies that actually work.

It pairs with Can't I Just Stay in My Room? (a career guide for teens) and Can't I Just Skip College? (a look at alternative paths after high school), but also stands strong on its own. Whether your teen is unsure, overwhelmed, or completely checked out, this book helps you show up with confidence-and stay in their corner as they figure things out.

No pressure. No guilt. Just real help for one of the hardest (and most important) parenting moments you'll face.
