Humans are not the same in this world because each person has different talent from the other.

For this reason, we cannot all be made to study the same things, as some people are good at using their hands for different kinds of work.

This shows that no child should be made or forced to go into a particular trade or area of study. This will not help children to maximise their performance in their jobs.

As a result of this, they will be square pegs in round holes. 

What parents can do is to guide their children or wards make choices that best suit their abilities and talents.

Therefore, parents should encourage their children to pursue their interests and ambitions.

The more children are allowed to make good decisions on their own, the better it will be for them when they become adults. Parents can guide them in the right direction.

Parents can do this by closely watching and monitoring what their children like to play with. For example, if a child likes drawing, then the child concerned may have talents in painting or artwork.

Close monitoring of children is, therefore, very important. This should be carried out by parents at all times.

The Spectator is of the view that instead of forcing children into particular areas of study, they should rather be encouraged to go into professions where they can easily exhibit their talents.

Career interests are important because they reflect one’s preferences in a work environment. When you align your career with your interests, you essentially increase your job satisfaction.

When you are enthusiastic and productive at work, you would be more likely to help others and complement their work ethic. This is the benefit of a positive work environment.

So, the more decisions children are allowed to make on their own, the better they will become as adults.
