Support vs. Support

Support vs. Support

Every parent is interested in securing their children’s future but remember let it not be at the cost of burying their dreams. Every parent has a right to dream, so shall a child.  Every child has dream but these dreams do change which with times. As parent we need to travel along with them to see whether they can convert their dream into reality.

Some parents are confused how to select a field for their children, they seek advice from people outside, they google information to identify which field will have a future and try many other means to ensure they are able to select the right field for their children but unfortunately sometimes the whole exercise fails.

 Why do you think parents get into such situations?

 The answer is simple- some parents don’t ask their children “What do you like to do?” when we interact with such parents they come up with an answer stating “They are kids, they might not know” we don’t want them to take a wrong decision and suffer in the future. So, we are very much concerned about selecting their career.

Let’s closely examine the following statement we don’t want them to take a wrong decision and suffer in the future the irony is that, they don’t allow them to take a decision and express they might go wrong.

·         Is suffering bad?

·         Are wrong decisions bad?

As a parent we all know that suffering builds us and wrong decisions corrects us. Are our children not supposed build themselves from their sufferings and correct themselves from their wrong decisions?

·         Have we not bounced back in life?

·         Have we not corrected ourselves?

let’s prepare our children for reality, let them prepare themselves for facing it, let it be success or failure.  I am sure we can understand what kind of support we should give our children at this juncture?

Remember If your children can become somebody with your support in the field which you selected think what they would have become with the same support in the field which they would have selected.

The difference between what you selected and what they would have selected is a Job & a career.
