Guidance is approach to an individual wherein you provide support, clarity and actually guide the individual to where they can reach their fullest potential.
This helping intervening-action exhibits and initiates cognitive, affect and behavioral awareness to the individual receiving it.
An example is, when a parent asks what his/her child wants in his/her goals, this can exhibit a parental action to counseling where the parent can listen to the different aspirations of his/her kid and on the process guiding him/her what are the best possible options the parent thinks or the alternatives. This is just to let the child appreciate his/her sense of individuality and openness to explore the areas.
