After the summer vacation, whether it's an international school or a local school, it's been a while since school started. I believe that most of the students have accepted it and worked hard in their coursework, hoping to get good grades. Even in activities outside the subject, they are also studying hard, hoping to improve their background.

However, when the child is working hard, do you ever think about what the hard work is for? To make parents proud? To prove that you are the best in your homework? To get yourself into a good school?

These expectations are not wrong, but the most important thing is, no matter what the road you take, you must read this here. All your efforts now are for the sake of your future life. It should be just the "peripheral achievements" that you get from your step-by-step progress.

Therefore, when children face various academic pressures, as parents, we must avoid putting the cart before the horse, not just stressing their academic achievements or various "great achievements", but reminding them and assisting them in this process. Begin to think about how to face up to your inner expectations for your future, to explore which subjects or activities you are interested in, to plan the future direction based on the subject you are currently interested in, to participate and future direction may be related various activities, etc.

The above mentioned is the process of exploration, no matter when it starts, it is never too early. But generally speaking, we suggest that around 13 should be a watershed. The things children learn do not need to be too complicated, but at this time it may be possible to let them gradually gather their "core" interests.

Of course, such an exploration process may fail and may also be adjusted, but that's okay, it's really a process, and remember that the process of adjustment itself is a kind of learning, which will only make the next step better and more accurate. Finding your child's interests and directions will never waste time.

In addition, children will have many imaginations about their future careers: for example, being a lawyer is beautiful, being a doctor or a banker can make a lot of money, being a scientific researcher or an iPhone product designer is cool, being a social worker can help others but Probably not high income.... It's definitely a good thing for children to have imagination, which means that their interest in the industry is budding.

However, if there are some opportunities at this time for them to learn more about the industry, such as: searching for relevant news or media information about the industry, consulting practitioners in the industry, participating in career exploration activities, etc., it will definitely help them build their knowledge of the industry. And help them to confirm or revise their thoughts on this path, and conversely think about their further study subjects, schools, and even the place of university or college professional study, which can definitely have a positive impact, and the specific path must be presented.

It is better to start preparing for this aspect as soon as possible, rather than being completely ignorant and ignorant before choosing a university department. After all, life is only a few decades old. Occupation may make this life journey uncomfortable and unhappy.

Because of this, Bodao Education Service Company hopes to continue to plan and hold relevant career exploration activities when assisting children in their further education, so as to provide opportunities for young people to have first-hand contact with different occupations. These activities may take different forms, but the entire content is sure to help these teenage friends who are looking for direction and embrace them every step of the way. This is also one of the original service tenets of our founding Odyssey.

The next event will be the "Symposium on Dialogue with Retired Private Banking Executives" in October. We sincerely invite the former head of UBS Greater China business, who is also a senior speaker, to communicate and share face-to-face with our young friends. In the meeting, in addition to learning about her learning and mental journey, teenagers who are interested in banking work can also learn about the types of work in the banking industry, the real situation of the work, the ups and downs, and how they should study in the direction of study. Preparation; at the same time, it will also mention what the bank will provide for the preparation of internship or training opportunities for young people. Don't miss out on such a rare event!
