Why not ? it depends on the aptitude of the child. Quite often parents mirror their own ambitions and force their children into doing what they failed to achieve. So it would be good to expose the child to different career paths and then allow them to chose one in which they are confortable. At least in that way, they would blame you in future for ruining their career.

if youth are responsible for ruining their careers then parents are the motivational factor for it... let the choice be in favour of youth and guidance be in favour of parents... let their children choose the career and let the parents be a back bone for reaching the career target

YES, after Xth Up to Xth std it is a child not capable of taking a good decision about its future. During Xth stage it begins to think of its future studies, way of life, what it should become, what to study and the like. It depends on the family back ground, social, economical, geographical and other environments. It is at that stage the parental guidance is more required than other interest of the child They must understand the liking of the child, as they are the best witnesses of the child's growth, and find out from the child what is its future plan as to studies. Suppose a child says it desires to become a Lawyer, don't discourage him, don't force it to study Engineering, Medicine ,Electronics etc Parents must learn many things from their child. There is a saying that "child is the best teacher, best imitator, observer and the like" It is a different case if the child chooses an illegal path or way of life; for eg: to become a rowdy, thief, pickpocket, prostitution etc. Then a stringent action is needed from the parents. 100% this will not be the case. It is a case of selection of a combination by the student. Let him/her study the course of his/her choice. There Parents are duty bound to encourage the child to the maximum of their capacity whether they like it or not the the child will come up in life in exceptionally good way and parents will be happy. It is good to the society at large. society

definitely.If the child is not satisfied than he won't perform well and the point of the whole excercise is lost.Advice is always welcome but choice is always required.

Yes parents should allow children to choose their career this is because this ll allow the child to understand his talent and he ll grow high in his life.Even it ll allow the parents to understand the talent of their son/daughter.

I think parents sould give all required information about the courses,what job opportunities they can get and also what are there +ve and -Ve poins(ofcourse from their point of view) and let the child decide career.

Definitely .. I don't want to be a software guy, I was interested in Civil engg. I was forced to take this one. I don't want to force my kid. Let her do what she wants to be. But we need to guide them when they need us to take decision, by pointing the pros and cons.

Today's young ones are highly knowledgeable about career opportunities. As such they should be permitted to do the basic work and select 1/2 options for their careers. Then they should consult their parents and finalise the choice. Thanks & Regards

Children of PU will have the basic knowledge of where(Which Subject or field) he or she is lacking.... let the parents guide the children or motivate them according to the will and wish of the children (and not parents...) or else there is a chance of disinterest of the child in his / her career and will not succeed in life. Do the parents want their child to be idle without any success...? every thing is in the hands of parents to let the children to take their own decision (let the parents support and guide the decision of the children).

yes parents should allow their children to choose their own careers, because it is they who have to face the future.it is they who is going to look after their parents in a possible way... this is my own testimony... My dad wanted me to become an IAS officer but i was not interested in it and i joined BBM with a view to move in to MBA and i convinced my dad and my parents left me to choose the career study.... i am happy now and my parents are proud about my performance in BBM.....

Its a veyr thin line between allowing them to choose and forcing your opinion on them. One cannot totally leave it to kids to decide. Instead parents should identify the strengths and weaknesses of the kid, their areas of interests and then guide them in that area, irrespective of the field (legal one of course :) )

Yes Kavita, Parents should help the children to take a well informed decision depending on their interest and capacity. At that age children are carried away by wishful thinking & careers which may not suit their personality & intelligence. Overall it must be collective decision in order to save precious time,money & career growth.

No, children at that stage will not be clear of what they want to do. So parents should guide them according to their interest. Because at that age they are very influential so they should be guided properly......
