Parents’ role in shaping child’s career



Parents’ role in shaping child’s career can not be undermined. That explains why we normally witness the sons and daughters entering into the professional arenas of their parents. Whether it is politics, business, or services many wads have been found to be doing what is considered as carrying the torch of family legacy. For few it’s by choice but for many others it’s by design. The thing to be noticed here is whether these new generation kids are happy doing what is expected of them or it will be more better for them and society in general that they are given ample freedom to choose what they desire?

It all starts with childhood. Often parents compare heir wards to other kids in the same class or group. If X is doing well then so should Y forgetting that Y is more adept at doing some other work. Your daughter may be enrolled in dancing classes but probably she is more inclined towards singing and that’s why her performance in dancing class is not up to the mark. Such factors are often ignored by the overly eager parents. Needless to say, this is detrimental to child’s prospects in field of his/her choice.

Allow your child and show him/her a list of hobbies by taking him out and by providing him an environment. Child will demonstrate his tastes and aptitude and parents need to observe that. Life offers us several professional choices. These days many of those choices are offbeat. Allowing your children to realize their true potential without putting any unwanted pressure is one of the best things parents can do for their kids.
