HOW DO I HELPMY CHILD?
“Which subject combination should I take?”

“Do I enjoy the languages, Sciences, Humanities or Mathematics?”
“Do I know my career aspiration yet?”
“What are the subjects required to get to my aspiration?”
“I don’t know what I want to be yet, but I know I love Literature. How now?”
“What do I really like about this subject?”
Questions Your Child May Have
Personal Characteristics
◦Personal Characteristics
◦ How does the subject combination play up to
your child’s strengths, interests, learning styles and
passion?
◦ How does the subject combination further your
child’s interests and learning styles?
◦ How will these subjects help your child achieve
his/her career aspirations?
60
“What are the subjects your child enjoys or is good at?”
61
• If your child enjoys a subject, he/she is likely to do well in it because being interested in something engages and motivates them.
• It is a good enough reason to study a subject he/she simply enjoys; it is in fact all the more critical if he/she does not have a career prospect in mind yet.
Mathematics
Sciences
Mother Tongue Arts
Humanities Literature
English Language
Your Child’s Journey• Your child may have an aspiring occupational pathway in mind • Or, he/she may gradually discover what he/she
