You know where you want them to get to.
Most advice for parents is either vague encouragement or a list of exam subjects. Neither tells you what to actually do this year, at this age, for the path you have in mind.
Pick the direction. Each page gives what genuinely separates people on that path, the mistake most families make, what a real record of it looks like, and what to do this month — at ten, at fourteen, or at seventeen.

This pathWe do not get anyone into medicine, or engineering, or anywhere else. We help a young person build the ability and the evidence that each path actually looks at, and we help you find the tutor, the program, the mentor or the school when one is needed on the way.
