PROMOTE AUTONOMY
Talk to your children about:
Quem eles pensam que é responsável pelo futuro. É fundamental fazer
sentir aos filhos que acredita que eles são capazes de assumir
gradualmente a sua autonomia e responsabilizarem-se pelas suas
decisões.

What factors determine how life will go. Destiny? Chance? The
general state of the world? Share with your children personal
situations or of relatives and friends in which the driving force,
determination and personal capacity to exercise control were
decisive.
PROMOTE CURIOSITY
Talk to your children about:

How to explore more about who they are, the educational and training
opportunities and the different occupations. For the formulation of
ideas and possible scenarios for the future, it is essential to be curious
and be an explorer about oneself and the world around you.

Who are the people your children most admire. What do they admire
in these people? What activities do these people carry out? What did
they do to get there? How do these people currently qualify in these
areas of activity? What other professional activities are related to
them? From your children’s interests, stimulate the search for other
similar areas of activity.
PROMOTE TRUST
Talk to your children about:

Como eles costumam enfrentar os desafios. Com confiança, ou evitam
pôr-se à prova com receio de falhar. Perceba melhor até que ponto os
seus filhos desvalorizam as suas capacidades e competências.

From what your children say or do, help them to better understand
who they are by looking for their strengths in terms of personality,
values, interests, abilities and skills. The construction of your
children’s life project must bet on their strengths and allow them to
express themselves.
