What on Earth Is Your Child Going To Do?
The primary responsibility of a parent is to "train up a child in the way they should go".
But what if you and your child do not know where they should be going?
Discovering and developing your child's call and vocation for life starts right from the very beginning as we raise our children with a sense of purpose and destiny.
"For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus
for good works, which God prepared beforehand
so that we would walk in them."
Ephesians 2:10
Discovering and understanding your childrens' most likely career path is one of the most significant aspects of training your child in "the way they should go."
After all if your child does not know what they should be doing with their life, what is the point of learning anything?
It is important as parents to try and establish what is the most likely career and vocational path for your child, and then plan and prepare the most appropriate programmes to help them achieve this.
By finding out what your child's most likely career and vocational path will be, you can better plan and prepare programmes that are the most effective in equipping your child for their future.
