HOW DO I HELPMY CHILD?

“Which subject combination should I take?”

“Which educational pathway should I choose?”

“Do I enjoy the languages, Sciences, Humanities or Mathematics?”

“Do I know my career aspiration yet?”

“What are the subjects required to get to my aspiration?”

“I don’t know what I want to be yet, but I know I love Literature. How now?”

“What do I really like about this subject?”

Questions Your Child May Have

Personal Characteristics

◦Personal Characteristics

◦ How does the subject combination play up to

your child’s strengths, interests, learning styles and

passion?

◦ How does the subject combination further your

child’s interests and learning styles?

◦ How will these subjects help your child achieve

his/her career aspirations?

60

“What are the subjects your child enjoys or is good at?”

61

• If your child enjoys a subject, he/she is likely to do well in it because being interested in something engages and motivates them.

• It is a good enough reason to study a subject he/she simply enjoys; it is in fact all the more critical if he/she does not have a career prospect in mind yet.

Mathematics

Sciences

Mother Tongue Arts

Humanities Literature

English Language

Your Child’s Journey• Your child may have an aspiring occupational pathway in mind • Or, he/she may gradually discover what he/she

would like for a future career• Either way, encouraging him/her to find out more about the

work and its environment will be helpful
