Class 8th student
Imagine a day at a Parent-Teacher meeting. The class is filled with students and parents, and most of them have gathered around the teacher. Every parent has several queries and is always very interested in their child. They wish to know a little more about how their child performs academically and in extracurricular activities. But we realize it is difficult for a teacher to answer all our questions. A subject teacher is unaware of the child’s performance outside the class, and a sports teacher can claim to know anything about the child in an art class.
Now, who can help us understand the child’s overall persona? How will a parent assess the overall development of a child?. This is an underlying thought in every parent’s mind. A very effective solution to this problem is a ‘Career Counseling session’.
Teenagers who have just entered high school are at a very sensitive age. They are a combination of a vulnerable mind and a growing body. Parents need to understand their potential at this age.
8th and 9th-grade students are at the right stage to start planning. An important step before planning a career strategy is understanding the qualities and abilities of a child. Some children are very good at arts, while some have brains that work as calculators, and others are excellent sportspersons. Their parents need to know their capabilities. It is very difficult to understand the complete persona in school. Amidst so many children, it becomes difficult to understand. Children at school are encouraged to participate in all activities and are expected to score well in the exams. So it becomes difficult to identify his hidden talents. Some children are also introverted and do not wish to perform in front of friends and teachers. Again it is also believed that backbenchers cannot score good grades and are very naughty and not interested in academics. These assumptions are general myths and can be worked upon to understand reality. If parents take class 8th and 9th students for career counselling, they understand the truth based on facts and figures.
