It's high time to choose a profession and education, while it is still possible to decide on attending tests and passing exams.
But when a teenager cannot make a decision for himself, parents should not make that decision for him.
Usually in such situations you need to calm down first and then think about how you can help the future applicant make a choice?
What should parents do?
1. Don't lecture, but become a friend and helper to the teenager.
What is important to him now is emotional support, as well as the confidence that if he suddenly makes a mistake with his choice, the people closest to him will come to his aid.
2. Don't try to realize your dreams and ambitious projects by pushing your child to make a decision that you like.
If a teenager doesn’t like something, he will either refuse to talk to you about his future profession or will go against his parents.
3. Just in case, think about whether you will be able to pay for education, as well as help your child if he or she moves to another city.
At least you will narrow down your search.
4. Share your personal experience with your child. Tell them everything you learned about working in your field after graduating.
At the same time, there is no need to be proud of your successes and achievements. Instead, tell how you managed to overcome problems and reach the top of your career.
