Let us join hands with our children on the road of learning, assist them in planning, give them blessings, and applaud them !

To Embrace and Celebrate Every Little Step along Your Learning Journey!

"Children are independent individuals, not your possessions"

"Your child's report card is not your report card"

"Children's hobbies are not necessarily the same as yours"

These are the advice that parents often remind themselves today, but in the process of children’s learning, it is too easy to fall into a trap without knowing it due to the surrounding environment, fierce competition, or other influences In the pressure of all kinds of repeating words, he lost his direction, but became more confused, or caused a estrangement between him and his children.

As parents, it's easy to assume that our values and expectations are right, believing that these conversations happen frequently:

"My arrangements are for your own good, do you understand?"

"You don't have to worry too much, just follow this path."

"You must choose subjects that can make money, and ideals can't be eaten as food, otherwise life will be a problem in the future."

"You must go to university, it doesn't matter what department."

Sometimes, we may also blurt out this way unconsciously:

"I graduated from a famous school before. If you don't enter a famous school, you will make me lose face."

"Your grades are so good, it's a pity not to choose medicine."

"Without Ivy League, without Oxbridge, you're not going to college!"

It is understandable that parents have expectations for their children, but it can become a stress over time. From another angle, if our parents also put “wish” on us invisibly and invisibly, and ignore our voice, what would we think at this time?

Our children's learning path is indeed our responsibility, and because children's backgrounds, environments, personalities, and interests are different, it has also become an important issue for most parents. We want our child to be independent, but we can't help interfering, and we don't know how to help him so that he can achieve his own future. I believe that at the same time, there are many parents who want to find a direction and break through one confusion after another.

Furthermore, in 2020, we have experienced unprecedented uncertainty as human beings. Everyone seems to have experienced a disaster movie in person. There is a sense of powerlessness everywhere. There seem to be many roads in front of us, but each road is unclear. But no matter how bad the environment is, the children's learning journey is never-ending.

Therefore, as parents, we must continue to support our children on their learning journey and help them plan their studies and future directions for further education. But how to balance the parents' "expectations" and children's "dreams"? How to reduce the "gap" between the two sides? How can we "respect" each other, yet let our children feel that their parents are still giving them endless blessings, confidence, care and warmth when they are flying freely? These are all things we need to work on. Only in this way can we move forward steadily and hand in hand with our children. No matter what their achievements in the future, we can also share their joy!
