who determines your child"s career?

you are right parents ought to respect their kids just like they expect the kids to respect their decisions but children need to take decisions with good care and guidance from parents but not by domination

i am sure that by now a lot of people who intend to choose their children"s career will have a rethgink because ,as far as i am concerned career choice is the children right which is to be exercised with guidance from parents

Yeah, I think that that kids should consider any words of guidance that the parents give them because their parents have been around longer and know how the world works. However, the final decision on what career to choose falls to the the indivual and not the parent.

Yes, I was much the same. I think when it's time to choose your career and arrange the subjects needed to follow this career, the child is old enough to make the choices. No amount of force will make them do well! Brightest Blessings.

you are right so its better left with the kids to make up their mind they also want tyhe best for themselves as much as we also do

yes they have to decide cos they know what they enjoy doing beyond our own resoning and like you said you will always enjoy doing what you know best and not what you are forced to do,i used to hate mathematics cos i was bad at it but with a little encouragement from my parents i fell in love with it and now i still enjoy anything numerical but i was not forced to do anything

yes i do agree with you.

its a good thing that we have parents who understood the idea of the child"s freedom in the choice of a career in fact when i told my father i dont want a paid job again all he told me was i support you and he advised me on some other issue like discipline in finances and sincerity to clients

you are also correct but even if your child is still very young you will be surprised that suddenly she is already 18 soi its ok to already know what to do from now,dont you think so?

i totally agree with you though there are times a child does not really know what to choose i think at this point you as a parent can write a list based on your experience or observation of your child"s career inclination and discuss with himn or her on how to choose then the child will feelcarried along in decision concerning their lives this makes them to want to succeed at all cost

yes suresh1972,you are right if we give good guidance to kids at a early age the tendency is for them to know what to do when they grow up but a child left to him/herself will definitely make bad decisions both in the present and the future

Till the class of 12th, parents guide is very important for each child. After that they will turn to right position.

you know i have heard of parents telling their kids that they will withdraw their financial support if the kids will not do what they want and its so funny i wonder what they expect those kids to become

thanks but some parents dont think the children can make good decisions on their own especially the over bearing parents,some will go as far as withdrawing their financial support if the child wants a career different from what they want them to choose,what about that?

yes even while single i think its ok to know a few things to do so that you are equipped for when you are married and as for the career choice you have made a good decision

good point there,am sure your kids to be are in for a great time,as parents we are supposed to mentors,advisers and not God or a dictator,it breeds anger in the children abnd ultimately hatred

yes you are very right and its actually passion that brings the best success whatever you enjoy doing can never become a stress or problem as long as you are enjoying it so lets give the kids the chance to determine what their careers will be with prayers they will chosse right

i guess we happen to be amongts the very few people who have been allowed a choice in matters concerning our future congratulations and with regards to the kids please make sure you watch them and see where their interest lies and encourage them in it,my 7 year old daughter seems to have something about singing,each time she is close to anything micrphone or musical instrument she picks it up and pretend to be playing or singing,she asked to be enrolled in a music school i did that without thinking twice and i also encourage her to see other areas but without force but i must say she seems to be doing fine if she wants to sing am with her all the way

yes i quite uderstand you sometimes they need to make decisions on their own and also get things done without being manipulated but well guided by us its gives them a sense of responsibility from the start

even if your daughter is still so young dont be surprised that before you know it she is suddenly 18 and no longer the child you use to know and what do you do if you are not prepared?

the child"s career is their own personal future and as such the best a parent can do is to watch and understand the personality of each child then guide them in the best manner in a choice of career

well i hope you are not talking about dictacting their career choice because if that is what you are saying you will abusing their rights,it may become a problem in the future but if its a bout advise and guidance based on your experience you are on the right part

i totally agree with you and i ts just unfortunate that some parents try to make their children choose what they want without considering what the interest of these kids lie in and i have also discovered that no matter your qualification,talents and passion play very important roles in children"s success
