Here’s how you can journey with your child:
Connect with them
Set aside time to listen and understand how they are coping with school and CCA, their thoughts and feelings.
Create opportunities outside of school that would help you and your child recognise their interests, skills, strengths and learning styles.
Support them to learn for life
Stay open to the possible education and career pathways that are available and be flexible in discussing these pathways with them.
Trust their abilities to grow to become better versions of themselves, while being careful not to project your expectations on them.
Encourage them to take ownership of their goals and plans.
