Parents should help their kids decide, not decide for them..

10 71

It is always the responsibility of parents to cater for their children. Take them through schools, provide shelter and several other things for them. But one thing that parents sometimes do which is a little off is deciding for your children.

Sometimes due to the pain and hardship they went through due to some decisions they made which did not help them l, they force their children into taking or making some decisions which I say is not the best; They restrict their kids from relating well with the opposite sex,they choose schools for them and even their career for them. They deem it that the career the child is choosing or willing to exploit does not pay that much and as such push them into taking the most famous ones; doctor, lawyer, pilot engineer of which the kids do not seem to like.

One thing about work and career is also that, one has to do the one that he desires. Doing something that you desire does not make it a hell of stress since you like doing such thing but for something you were forced to do, you end up talking and even insulting the people around you when you are least frustrated.

Parenting, I may say is one difficult thing with diverse opinions on how it should actually be like. Some parents say, if you allow the girl child to go outside and see boys the girl child might end up being pregnant which is indeed true. Others also say that, the girl child should go out and search for men so they can get some food to feed on and several other diverse thoughts and ways are being used in the upbringing if children but what should real and great parenting be like?

The parent should not just allow the girl child to go out and befriend boys but she can give her the information she needs so she can stay safe in the act of seeing boys. Teenage boys and girls are sexually active and sometimes curious. When they are not given the right information they need to hear simply because parents think they are polluting them, the parents end up trying to decide for them of which they rebel and end up bringing problems to themselves and their parents.

Some parents also force their children into career programs that the kids are not good at. Imagine a boy child being good and almost perfect at art, but because his parents think that art as a profession doesn't bring more money like being a doctor, they force the child to quit art and learn science. With such a child it becomes really difficult for him or her to make it in life.

The parents introduced him to a whole new concept that he does not have interest in.

Such cases only result in the parents wasting their money and the child growing up to do what he wanted to do I'm not a parent yet, but I will love to the advise all parents to keep up with the work because it is not an easy one.

They should always consider the wishes of their children and push them unto higher heights rather than rebuking them because when they rebuke them, they only in most cases waste their time and money or push the child into a work area that he or she does not enjoy and as such he or she become frustrated over little issues at the work place.

That is exactly the main obligation of a parent, to guide. But they sometimes dictate rather than guide their kids

Teach them how to choose the right one for them to grow independently. sometime alowing them to commit mistakes will let them learn not to do next time.

Parents should educate their children on what is the right thing to do instead of restricting them. Let them do what they love and let them learn from their mistakes for them to grow.

My parents are always making the decision for me. They always want me to do this and that that's why I lost my ambition, my dreams because I grow up with a lack of confidence saying what I want to do.

And that is actually a bad thing. Parents being decisive towards their children is not great
