Your Answer ▼ Recently, a growing number of parents are
more concerned about their children’s achievements. It is natural that parents
have attention to their kids, but to what extent parents are involved in their
child’s career becomes a matter of debate. Let us delve into this topic in the
following paragraphs.
On the one hand, there are parents who
foster their children to get academic opportunities for specific areas that
could be promising businesses such as medicine or law. For instance, in Asian
countries, some parents forced their children to follow specific careers so
that they comply with their parent’s opinions in the past. As for the children,
it might be easy for them to just concentrate on their one specific goal and
not to distract by others. They did not have to struggle to consider which
careers might be good or adaptable for the future since they already made decisions
about their future goals for the career. However, parents’ decisions regardless
of their children’s talent and capability could be a problem when they grow up.
They could suffer from their adaptability to the career as they did not make
their own choice. In short, parents need to consider their child’s interests
and talents, then make recommendations for them.
On the other hand, some parents just focus
on their children’s interests and make them choose their own careers. These
parents just support their children to follow their instinct and show their
trust that their children make proper decisions for their careers. In this way,
these children boost their academic achievements since they make their own
choices. They know what their interests are and they are eager to improve their
careers naturally. This resulted from their parents’ appropriate support.
In conclusion, parents who wish for their children's successful careers need to step aside and wait for them to make their own
choices. There might be struggles but they are all beneficial for their future
careers. |
