The newest W4s dont have exemptions....if you notice, they took away personal exemption deduction back in 2018.

Here is an article; send them the link or print it out for them:

Because you have to be very careful on telling people what to do. It's their form and their choice, and you don't want them to come back later and accuse you of being the reason they are underwithheld and penalized.

Work through it with them, if you feel it is a bit beyond them at this time. That helps them learn.
