GCSES Results are out and not everyone is happy.

Results are out and not everyone is happy. What’s next?

Unfortunate a lot of our creative geniuses struggle academically and society still has only one way of measuring success 

Dear parents, not everybody can be a doctor, literally, because if everyone was a doctor society would not be able to hold itself together, we need so many other skills.

So, If you have a child who is struggling in this way this is how I suggest you  manage their academic years

✅ Create opportunities for them to shine in the spirit of genius. Every child has that and it’s really pretty obvious. Sign them up for classes and competitions and make it a priority. 

✅Speak words to build them up constantly

✅Don’t compare them with their peers.

The teenage years are especially brutal and comparison will hurt their self esteem.

✅Push them by inspiring them,  not with threats or punishment. Encourage a strong work ethic,  most of them will have to work harder than their peers to achieve the same result. 

✅ Be  open to alternative way of learning and teaching (training or apprenticeship)

✅Love them for who they are not for what they achieved 

✅ Allow them to choose a career that they love

So dear parents of future creative entrepreneurs hang in there. Your children are going to be fine. Trust God! 

This advice is for me too because I am going through  the same thing. 

I know it’s not easy, as parents we want the best for them, but what does that really look like for your kids? 

Have a blessed weekend
