Help Your Teen Find Their Passion
WITH THESE 3 IDEAS
If you’re a parent of a high school student, you’ve probably thought about their future. Over the next few years, they are going to make some very important decisions, and as their parent, you want everything to go as smoothly as possible. Whether your child is planning to go to college, attend trade school, enter the workforce, or take some other path, you hope they eventually find a fulfilling career. If they choose college, then you know it will be expensive. And, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, 80% of college students change their major at some point in their college career, which can make it even more expensive. Helping your child cultivate their passion early may help them to be more focused on a single major if they choose to attend college. Here are three things you can do to help them make the best decisions about which path to take in college, or in whatever option they choose. Encourage them to try various activities. Your child may never discover their true passion if they aren’t exposed to a variety of activities. This should start at a young age and continue as they get older. Encourage your child to join different clubs at their school, volunteer at charitable organizations, learn music, and play sports. By trying many different activities, they may find one that aligns with their interests, which could point them toward a fulfilling career. Introduce your child to a wide variety of people. Have your child meet with friends and family with varying backgrounds and careers. Encourage conversations about what led them to their career and what they enjoy about it. When you find an individual whose career or background interests your child, that person could become a mentor and guide them down the right path. Help them get some work experience. If your child already thinks they know what they want to do in life, help them find a job in that field. It could be a part-time job or just volunteer work, but seeing how the profession operates firsthand will provide them with valuable information. They could decide the career they were considering is not for them and pursue other interests instead.
