Let’s talk about the advantages of getting a summer job for your teenagers

DO YOU HAVE A TEENAGER? Then today’s post is for you

It’s summer and I thought if you’re like me and you have teenagers at home, you may be thinking of

how to keep your teen busy during the summer months.😄

What better ways to achieve this than a getting them registered with a part term agency that only works with teenagers (if you don’t know one send me a DM) 

Dear parents, trust me, a summer job can be good for young people and it won’t interfere with their school. 

Here are some of the biggest benefits your teen might gain:

✅ Financial skills: With support from you, a paycheck can be an opportunity for your teen to learn how to effectively manage finances. Teach your teen to establish a budget so they can practice saving for the future.

✅A good job can give your teen valuable insight into what they may want to do after SIXTH FORM or University. They may discover they enjoy working with people or they might decide that they want to own a business. If nothing else, a part-time job gives your teen valuable work experience that they can list on future job applications.

✅Less time to get into trouble: If your teen heads straight from school to a job, it shortens the amount of free time they have to engage in risky behaviors. They’ll be less likely to be bored when a job keeps them busy.

✅Life skills: A job could instill confidence and independence in your teen. If they work with customers, it can teach them how to handle difficult situations and improve their communication skills. 

✅Work skills: A job will help your teenager gain work skills—such as how to complete a job application, how to do well in an interview, and how to work for a supervisor.

My final thought,

Deciding whether to let your teen get a job isn’t a decision you should make lightly. 

Having a job after completing sixth form is not right for every teen.

 You will need to determine if your child has the time, the maturity, and the responsibility to juggle a job along with their other commitments.
