Helping their child’s dreams fulfilled is the top priority of every parent. Moreover, if your child has already reached the teenage, you might know the long list of aspirations they might have laid out. While every dream of your child, is undoubtedly close to your heart, the career-related one is especially vital. So, what happens when your child decides to become a doctor? Apparently, countless concerns start giving you sleepless nights, after all your kid’s dream is your dream too, and you sure do not want to see them disappointed.
Here is a list of 5 things you should stop doing if your child is a medical aspirant:
Focusing on Results
Life should not be solely about results; effort should be appreciated just as much. Your child is not likely to get everything right at the first time, so the ability to try repeatedly without giving up is an important one. To help your child attain this, you should praise your child for all the efforts they are putting in towards their career goals. If you are the kind of parent who only focuses on results and not efforts, then can demotivate your child. Praising them for putting effort into something will inspire them to do something better and more significant. Children who are commended for their determination feel good about themselves and are more likely to overcome difficulties in the future.
Forcing them to Study
Parents must not push their kids to study. Threatening, scolding, and nagging does not inculcate good studying habits. It is essential to make your child understand that they are responsible for their future and the path they choose. This is one thing they need to learn gradually while preparing for the MBBS entrance exam for Medical.
Keeping Your Child Busy
You are the parent, but that does not mean it is your job to schedule tasks for them for the entire day. It is not your duty to engage your child from morning until night. One of the most crucial skills your child needs to learn is to be independent. Not only does it keep the boredom away, but it also teaches them numerous other skills. Moreover, allowing your child to get lost in their exam preparation, also gives you a little bit of time. By doing this, you are instilling your child with some of the most important life skills like decision making and time management.
Solving All Your Child’s Problems
Problem-solving skills are vital, and without them, your child is going to struggle with their studies. As a parent, you would always want to solve your child’s problems. However, by doing this, you are not doing them a favour, but are taking away these essential early experiences in problem-solving. Doing this can cause decision-making issues for them later in life. If your child is struggling while preparing for exams, leave it to them.You might be amazed to see how easily they can resolve disputes by themselves when set free.
Shouting
Shouting does not work; in fact, it makes any situation worse. When you shout, your kid hears your voice but not necessarily the words you say. Shouting is threatening and can be scary for children. There are better ways of putting your point across. Even though yelling can cause a temporary behaviour change, but it can also damage the relationship and trust between you and your child in the long run. Furthermore, kids learn what to do, from you.
Preparation for the MBBS entrance exam for Medical calls for a lot more than just mugging up the topics in Biology and other subjects. For practising the problems of any subject with perfection your child must stay attentive and energetic. You need to take care of your actions, so you motivate your child towards their goals.
