Let them make their own decisions

Do not force your children to do what they do not want to do especially  when it comes to career decisions. Allow them to make their own decisions and learn from their mistakes. You will not always be around to guide them,  they have to learn how to make responsible decisions. Give them room to  discover their talents and grow into who they desire. It is healthy to let them cope with failures.

Identify their strengths and invest in them

Take time to study your child from a young age and recognize what they are most capable of. Are they talented singers, excel in a particular subject or sport? Encourage them, take them to a music school if they have a passion in music, or sports academy to grow in sports.
