Preparing your child for their dream job
For a child, choosing what they want to be in the future can often be a daunting thought. Even the idea of a future beyond the school gates might not have crossed their minds. So, being questioned on what they want to be when they grow up can be alien, and it might, understandably, be overwhelming. But it’s never too early to start thinking about it!
Everything your child does can have a big impact on their future career. Whether that’s developing a keen interest in science, picking up their pencil and paper, or simply helping around the house. They might quickly realise these skills and interests that they are developing are things they would like to utilise going forward.
Having a passion for something, however, is only half the battle. It is imperative that, as your child begins to consider their future career, they practice the soft skills that will attribute them to a job. For example, if your child wants to go into the medical field, they must be organised, patient and communicate well. Meanwhile to become a police officer, diplomacy and emotional intelligence are vital to their future success.
Here is a list of these transferrable skills that will prepare your child for their dream job, written by Tutor Doctor, the in-home and online tutoring company.
