Modern Career Guidance for Young People Book 1 (Ages 12-13) - Self Discovery, Confidence and Time Management - POTMAC International

Career Mentoring Student Handbook - “Laying the Foundation for Self-Discovery and Confidence.”

Empower your child to think beyond the classroom and start shaping a confident, purpose-driven future. This book helps your child build confidence, discover who they are, manage time well, and start seeing a future worth preparing for. The One Book That Puts Your Child Years Ahead — Mentally, Emotionally & Academically

What if your child started secondary school already thinking like a focused, confident achiever?

Most children enter senior one/Year 8 (or equivalent) hoping to “figure things out later.” Later often never comes.
This handbook gives your child what school rarely teaches — how to understand themselves, manage time wisely and believe they can achieve anything.

Endorsed by Potmac International, the team behind World Achievers Challenge, this isn’t just another workbook — it’s your child’s first step into purpose, confidence and personal growth.

Why This Book Changes Everything

✅ Self-Discovery = Early Direction – Your child uncovers who they are before outside opinions define them.
✅ Time Mastery = Academic Calm – Teaches how to plan and focus without nagging or pressure.
✅ Confidence = Courage – Short, practical habits that turn hesitation into quiet assurance.
✅ Relationship Wisdom = Safety & Support – Shows how to choose good friends and avoid toxic influence.
✅ Early Purpose = Long-Term Motivation – Links everyday actions to the bigger picture of becoming someone who matters.

 The earlier they start thinking for themselves, the easier every future choice becomes.
