KEY POINTS
- Family Dispute Resolution Mediator Donovan Nufable offers his expert insight saying that guiding a child is important but forcing them can have negative consequences.
- In the Philippines, cultural norms place significant value on family involvement in major life decisions. The choice of career is no exception. This tradition is rooted in strong family values, where parents see their children’s success as a reflection of the family’s honour and security.
- Nufable stresses that success isn’t solely about academic achievement but about realising potential.
It’s better to guide your child, don't force them. If you force them, chances are, they’ll fail because it's not something they want. However, if you guide them, they’re more likely to become successful.Donovan Nufable (Family Dispute Resolution Mediator)
