Parents count a lot!
Parents are central to their children's life story. They are the ones
who know best their characteristics, expectations, desires and
motivations. They are clearly the best positioned adults to boost
young people's projects and watch over their success.
When it comes to the future, young people expect their doubts and
hesitations to have their parents' understanding and trust and
encourage them to explore the world and experiment ideas and
projects. Parents and children share strong emotional bonds, and
even if they express their projects hesitantly or poorly, they want to
be listened to by their parents and look forward to their reactions.
It is important that parents seek to be involved in an intentional and
reflected way in the construction of their children's school and
professional life, taking advantage of everyday situations to "make it
happen"!
In summary, for the construction of life
projects for young people…
The impact of parents/family is inevitable;
The role of parents is very important;
Children value parent involvement;
Involvement should be intentional and reflected.
