Hi Sir, My daughter is confused about which subject to choose after 10th. Need your expert advice here. Below are her traits and career aspiration: # First choice of her career is to appear in UPSC and be a IAS/IPS. But, has a fear about not clearing it, than what? So, other option should be open. # She dont want to have a 9 to 5 Job. # She is good at Maths but she dont like to solve complex problems. # Confused with Bio/Commerce and humanities which one would be good for her ? # at last, she want to earn lots of money ?
Ans: It's great that your daughter has clear career aspirations, but it's important to remember that there are multiple paths to achieving them. Here are some points to consider:

UPSC is a highly competitive exam, and the success rate is relatively low. So, it's always good to have a backup plan. While pursuing her studies, your daughter can also prepare for other government exams, such as the state civil services or bank exams, as these can also offer good career prospects. But here, it will be a 9 to 5 job, as you said she doesn't want a 9-5 job.

Also If she doesn't want a 9 to 5 job, then she can consider careers in law, journalism, or entrepreneurship. These fields offer a lot of flexibility and the opportunity to work on her own terms.

If she is good at maths but doesn't like to solve complex problems, then she can consider commerce as an option. A career in finance or accounting can be a good fit for her.

Humanities can also be a good option for her if she is interested in subjects like history, geography, or political science. These fields can also help her in her UPSC preparations.

Lastly, while earning lots of money is a valid goal, it's important to also consider other factors like job satisfaction and work-life balance. Your daughter should choose a career that aligns with her interests and passions, rather than just focusing on the financial aspect.

Overall, encourage your daughter to explore different fields and subjects, and to keep an open mind about her career options. With hard work and dedication, she can achieve success in any field she chooses.

Sir my daughter is a PH with 63% Disability certified. She has vision in one eye only and that also is grafted. She is suffering from keratoglobus and week bones. At present she is in class 10. She wants to take up commerce in her 11th. I am not understanding how to train her for her future. Which career or job she can get with this condition. Kindly guide me as to how I should lead her after 10th for a secure govt job. She is good in drawings and has won many prizes too. But don't know how long she will be able to do because of her low vision. Please help.
Ans: It's commendable that you are looking ahead to support your daughter's future. Given her interest in commerce and her talent in drawing, there are several ways to help her navigate her educational and career path effectively. Here are some detailed steps and suggestions to guide you:
Ensure the educational institution she plans to attend for her 11th and 12th grades can accommodate her needs. Speak to the school or college principal about making the environment accessible, including providing necessary aids like large print materials, magnifying devices, or digital resources. Advocate for sensitization programs in the school to ensure her peers and teachers understand her needs and can provide appropriate support. Completing her graduation will open up numerous opportunities. Encourage her to pursue her interests in commerce, as this field offers diverse career paths. Utilize the 1% reservation in identified government jobs and higher education for people with physical disabilities. This reservation is an important entitlement and can provide a secure career path. Guide her to prepare for competitive exams like SSC, UPSC, or banking exams that have reservations for physically disabled candidates. Various coaching centers and online platforms offer preparatory courses tailored to these exams. Look for scholarships and educational grants specifically for students with disabilities to support her higher education financially. Please refer National Handicapped Development Finance Corporation Scheme for scholarship. Connect with NGOs that support individuals with disabilities. These organizations can provide resources, training, and advocacy support.

Hello Sir, My daughter is studing in class 8th in Kendriya Vidyalaya. She has a great grasping power but does not study. Her marks are also very poor. Also, she is very poor in Maths. Can she move to a career in computers / AI? Please advice what career options she has in case she continues to struggle in her studies? Regards Nitin
Ans: Hello Nitin.
Right now, your daughter is studying in just 8th std. On one side, you are saying that she has great grasping power but is poor in maths and scores less too. I would suggest as follows: (1) Just focus on the syllabus of 8th std and coming standards. (2) Ask her to do more writing practice to score more in exams (3) If she is weak in maths, then practice is the only solution for that. Ask her to do more practice on maths (4) Regarding her career options, it would not be better to discuss them at this early stage. Let her complete at least 10th std to assess her performance and her vision towards the upcoming future (5) Anybody with any stream, can now work in the computer and AI field. However she is more inclined towards these fields, then she has to study some computer languages and coding skills to master them. Even if she is struggling at this stage, then the same pattern doesn't need to continue in the future also. I have seen many cases, where a student was very weak in schooling but cracked JEE/NEET in 12th standard. Let us think positively about your daughter.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

Hi Mam, Hope you are doing well. I am very worried about my son who is now 12.5 years old and studying in 7th standard in a very reputed school. Since childhood, he has no interest in studies, unless we doesn't seat in front of him, he doesn't study. Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class and the result is he doesn't get good marks in the exam. When we scold him for studies, he does it for that particular time only and then get back to his non-interest mode again and start to run from studies. He will play video games, goes to play around with his friends, he will find some or the other reason for not doing studies or homework. The irony is that he is not interested in any sports or any other kind of activities. In every summer holidays, we make him to join some sports or music classes, but there also he doesn't show interest and do things just for the sake of showing. From last year, we have started sending him to tuitions also, but no change in attitude. This year we have found a teacher of his reputed school who is retired and taking tuitions, we are sending him to her and she is charging a big amount for tuitions. please guide how can we change his attitude and make him more serious in any activity he does as he doesn't have interest in anything (we have observed doing everything we can).
Ans: Hello Sunil!!

I am doing great, thank you for asking, God bless you!

I can totally understand when you say you are worried.

Your son is 12.5, he will soon be a teenager. There will be different challenges, I want you to read up on parenting a teenager and be ready to handle him well.

The problem as I see it is that everyone of you, his teachers included have made studies like a burden for him.... and subjected the young child to a lot of anxiety, he just wants to run away form it....
"Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class".... this statement of yours... it is the teacher's duty to ensure the child listens to him/her, how can she start labeling a child like this. From a young age your son has been conditioned to believe that he is not not good in studies, he doesn't focus and he doesn't sit in one place. All my sympathies are with your son...every child comes with immense potential and it's our duty as parents and teachers to nurture the child.

The following is what I propose so that we bring him back to loving to learn ( not score marks, that should never be the barometer)-
1. Love your child the way he is now
2. Give him lot of positive strokes
3. Have one on one sessions for any activity you plan for him... let him choose the activity, empower him
4. choose a teacher, who can get along with him and help him develop a positive attitude towards studies and life in general
5. look for a school where they nurture him... not just a reputed one...less number of students and a teacher who is invested in her/ his students,

If you can connect with me, I can help him. Have had many a students in this kind situation.
