AWAY
My youngest son is 18 years old and today is his last day at school. His last day at sixth form.
After A levels, 18 year olds have many options they can choose from.
They can either go to university or enrol in a college, or apply for apprenticeships and start the ‘work’ parts earlier.
Or they can get a job, which will not only give them a chance to earn some money but learn timekeeping, responsibility, independence etc
My son decided to take a one year gap to find himself before he decides on what he wants to do about his future. 😊
Whatever happens I am proud that he is developing independence and know at some point he will be successful in his chosen career. His happiness is more important to me than doing what others expect him to do.
Why I’m I sharing this with you?
Here is why 👇👇
Throughout his primary education, I used to just accept everything his teachers told me about him without questioning it. And I will comply with whatever they say about my son and I always believe them over my son.
It took me a while to realise that just because someone is an “expert” or “in charge” doesn’t mean they know what’s best for my son.
So today, I thought I should share this to everyone who needs to hear this.
Please don’t give your parental authority away! The Teachers and Headteachers don’t have authority over your children!
Teachers and Headteachers don’t have authority over your children!
Only YOU have the maximum authority over your children.
So, if someone in authority approaches you or tells you to do something to your child, please do your own research first. You don’t need to take their word for it!
You don’t need to blindly comply with whatever any individual is telling you to do to your children!
You will never feel more at peace or more empowered than when you follow your instinct as a mother!
And your children will be their happiest. ❤️❤️❤️
Parents have the ultimate say!
