Well-meaning family and friends will often ask “What are you studying?” which is pretty much a kinder way of saying What do you want to be when you grow up.” As parents, we need to be okay with some question marks in our children’s lives, but we also want them to feel confident about moving forward.

Jeanette is the founder and editor of Utah Valley Magazine, BusinessQ, Posper Magazine, and others, and is a regular presenter at The Lisa Valentine Clark show.
