Do you think all perants support their child in what they want to become?

hello mustafarox :) Most of the parents today support their children to pursue a career they want. My parent have given me full freedome to choose a career of my choice. Yess there are parents who do not support/do not want their children to pursue a specific career he likes, but there can be numerous reasons for that. Financial crises can be one of the problems because of which parents could not let their child let go in a particular career. May be parents know the "SWOT analysis" Strength, weakness, opportunities and threats of certain career and also know that their child won't be able to fare well there, Certainly some parents know their children quite well. sometimes it happens that a child choses such a proffession which is not acceptable or against the family culture or tradition. Yesss there are also parents who want their children to be what they could'nt become in life. Their failures sometimes pose as the reason for great expectation of their children. And many a times there is a competitions between people. Each wants their son/daugther to secure highest marks and make a name for them :D, They pressurise their children for the sake of their prestige. (I have seen this personally in our area.)further they think if that person's son is going for medicine my son should also go there :D. They simply neglect the talents of their children and just blindly force them to pursue a career for the sake of their prestige and wants/wishes. Well So to sum-up most of the parents today support their children to pursue what they want. Few who do not support might have their own shortcomings and further few are adamant and do not understand the talents of their children and importance of their choices or lives.

I believe parents who impose harsh rules and dictate what studyies are best for children is perhaps the parent wants the child to live a dream they themselves could not achieve. A bit of wanting better for their child, however not realizing they are forcing their child to live out a life perhaps that they will not be happy in. I believe that children can be guided by great examples, however we need them to opt for career choices that will make them happy in life.

I don't think all parents do. Some parents are not capable of doing that due to financial incapabilities. They want to support their child but they can't. This happens all the time, all over the world. Also, it is possible that the parents would only support their children if the children do what the parents want them to do

Hello mustafarox, First,i like your name?Second may i ask how old are you now?Well regarding your post,If i would be in that shoes maybe i will also feel the same parents forcing us to do the things we dont want to do is really bad for me becausee i grew up having freedom in any aspects of my life but i understand you because i was once forced to do a thing that i dont want.Many parents i hope to understand that we are all different persons and we have different choices in life so they must not forced their children to do the things they dont want to becausee that will result to unsuccesful result,I hope u agree on me with that.

well, for me as a mother, I will support my child what he wants to become if it is for his own good. If his interests suit him, and he enjoys doing it. I'll be supportive so that he will do it more inspiring and dedicated. For the mothers who don't want to support their children for some reasons, it should be discuss with open heart and mind. We all don't want to hurt our children's feelings for this matters.

Yes many people want their children to gain the highest post and have the most paid job!

Hi there, well i must say that there are parents that does not support what their child wants to be. Its really sad because for sure their children was not happy at all and sometimes end up not successful. So, i must suggest that parents should support their children on what they want to be, so that they children will be happy while making his/her path to be a successful one =)

I couldn't agree with you more and I am a prime example of that. I wanted to be a writer and my parents told me that they would pay for college only if I studies business or accounting. They went on to tell me that there were thousands of starving writers in the world. I got my degree in business and spent my entire working career doing something I hated.

No. I think a lot of parents support their child's dreams only if their child dreams of being what the parents want them to be. But I don't think it's fair to say that all of those parents just want a child with a job they can brag about. Some parents just want what they think is best for their children, and what they think is best is a highly-respected profession with lots of money. I'm taking a engineering course right now even though I'm not really interested in engineering. I was more interested in business, but my parents wouldn't support me for that. -__-

not all parents ,some time financial condition and family requirement are more important ,offcourse all parents wants children should grow the way they want but if family is poor then costly plan may not workout.

i think our parents want us to be what they want

I think that a parent always wants what is best for the child, but that his or her own wishes and view points cloud whether or not the child is actually happy with what they are working towards. My mom helped in anyway she could to help me become a teacher. Even my first year of teaching, she was my room mom. She came in and read with my struggling readers twice a week. My mom's big focus was just me getting a degree of some kind. She really did not want me to enter the military...something I considered briefly when I was a junior in high school. For my own child, I want her to be a productive member of society. If she chooses something that is off the beaten path, but is not being a drain on society I will support her.

No, most of the time, the parents decide on what their children will become when they grow up. It should be the other way around but that;s the way it is. It, sometimes, give positive results but, most often, its negative.

I don't believe all parents support their children in what they want. As you said, there are some parents who forces their children to be something they don't want. But there are also parents who supports their children no matter what. My mom let me decide what to major in, even though she wanted me to become a doctor, she respected my decision because it showed individuality.

A parent should support heir child in their decisions for their future. Sometimes parent and child don't see eye to eye. Children look to their parents for guidance. Parents ahould do what they can for their children and help them to make good decisions.

Hi,mustafarox! I don't think so.My parents are kinda persuasive.I once was very certain about what I want to do in the future and what a person I want myself to be.But after arguing with my parents for so long,I am not sure any more.They want me to get a steady job where I don't need to fight very hard,while I want to be a freelancer and challenge myself.You know,as a freelancer,I can work wherever I want,whenever I want.But also,it's very unsteady.I can never tell when I may run out of money.My parents always say that you are a girl,you don't need to work so hard,it will exhaust you.I once refused to listen.But now,as I'm getting older and older,I start to consider my parents' words,too.What if I can't get my work recognized as a freelancer?What if I can't even support myself? I'm getting less and less confident.I need someone to tell me that I can do this.But it can never be my parents who support my ideas. I still don't know what I will do in the future.I just hope I can figure it out in these three left years in university and when I do figure out,my parents won't interfere. Have a nice day!

I agree with you. Though my parents are not like that I have seen so many parents like that.

Indeed, as our society changes and more parents becoming affluent, most of them want the best and only the best for their child. Many a times, parents are so over concerned about their child, hoping that they will be able to lead a good life, that they neglect what their child thinks. It is quite sad, but if we were to look at this in another angle, we can say that these child are all very fortunate. At least we know that they have parents who care so much for them. I believe with further communication, the parent would be able to understand the child. Parents, have been living in this planet many more year than their kids. They know how hard life is and hope the best for their child. Furthermore, it is not cheap to sending their child to take up medicine or lawyer. Thus, I believe that if there is good communication between the child and the parent, everything will go well.
