Find out what is meaningful to him. If he has no claimed interests, there is reason to begin discussing income. Eight years from now is either part way through university work, or ""on ones own"" in the world of work. I deal with JH and HS age kids in outreach programs at SCSU. I believe choosing a path is critical in the sense that directional efforts are made. They can change at 13, from small decisions to 180 degrees, with no penalty. discovering pathways to self financial responsibility (realistic income) may be one corridor. Making a plan that taps into friends in other professions he respects is one way to approach building a life compass. He will not (probably) be like you. My son is in Culinary Arts at a Tech school and it is just fine with me. It has taken years of open coaching to provide opportunities that were not perceived as "what you want me to be".

It is not possible to direct these choices. It is their's to make. Jim

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
