So, the most important bit of career building information here is that your youngster, as he or she develops a career focus, must learn how to handle the uncertainty and stress that characterize the 21st century business environment and be resilient in the workplace.

In more concise terms, your youngster must harness the anger and depression he or she may sometimes experience due to the uncertainty and stress that everyone is experiencing as well as the anxiety and lack of self-confidence he or she may feel as a job seeker with CP and channel it into purposeful action and practice.

But let’s not forget the bit of career building information that is good news for your youngster. As an accomplishing individual with CP, your junior high school student may be already acquiring the attributes tomorrow’s employers will need – precisely the lessons he or she is learning by addressing (and working around) the roadblocks CP tends to throw in the way of navigating every-day life.

This is the type of career building information I wish I had when I was 14 – a road map for getting ready for work (even though full-time employment may be more than a decade away). But there’s no rush. Your youngster has plenty of time to develop his or her own base of career building information and reflect on what it all means in personal terms. The time to start, however, is now.

That’s why I believe it’s important for your youngster to do two things: fellow career building trends online and keep a journal about his or her personal struggles and triumphs of living with CP (which will eventually be a rich resource of success stories to share with prospective employers).
