If higher education is what is important for you as a parent, then please watch this video.
There are many things we will try to accomplish for our children. And we will go to great lengths to try and do anything we can for them. One of the things we tend to think is extremely important is schooling. Many children will do well in school and will the option for scholarships. Many will not. What do you do if you want your child to have a better, higher education but they didn’t get a scholarship and you can’t afford their school? Or do you think you should sacrifice everything in order for them to get that education?
What do we do:
if your child doesn’t want a higher education?
Or is just not able to do the work in order to obtain that education?
At what point do we sit back and let them make these choices or do we force our way on them. We are the parent and therefore we know what is best for them, correct?
What are your thoughts on all of this?
Do you have a way to make your child study that we have not thought of?
Please comment and let us know your thoughts.
Don’t ever judge someone’s education level by appearances because many high achievers don’t even have a grade 12 education. Nor judge a parent because their child doesn’t get to college or university. On the other hand, do not judge parents who have children that are very smart and or are willing to do the hard work to get into a higher education institution. Neither parent deserves your judgment. We are all just doing the best we can with what we have and with what our children are capable of.

Or is the judgment from others about HOW you parent is harder than you thought?
You’re not alone, watch and share with other parents so we can all stop judging others and make the job of parenting easier and more effective.
I struggled for years wondering if anyone else ever found parenting difficult. I remember thinking about how much of a failure I must be. I didn’t see other parents struggling like I was. We didn’t have social media back then so there was no evidence that anyone else was having difficulty. I felt so alone.
I have had parents ask me if I drug my kids to get them to go to bed. If I starved them because they were all thin. If we were poor because none of them were in any sports and they tended to wear different colour socks most of the time.
I was back then, and always will be a transparent person. I tell it like it is. When I struggle, if you are anywhere around me you will know I am struggling. If I screw up, you will know it. If I am having trouble figuring something out, you will hear me ask for advice. This all allowed other parents to see into my life, but they carefully hid behind their four walls not letting anyone see what struggles they were having.
Parent With Purpose was started to help all parents be able to get help when they are struggling. To help others when they have good advice. To be a community of parents that understand that just being a parent, although the best job in the world, is the hardest.
