How does your child make decisions? Important ones like where to go to school, where to live at school, and what career to pursue… What are the strongest influencers of those decisions? Peers, you, social media, television, advertising…?
We have identified a way you can receive objective/scientific data on what activities motivate them and what kind of environment will make them most successful? At the same time this information can provide you with a language to communicate about behaviors and support your child’s strengths and success in a non judgmental and objective way.
A personal style assessment instrument is utilized to provides exceptionally accurate and validated information on a person’s strengths, the environment which will be most productive, stress behavior when one’s needs are not met. It also measures the kinds of activities that motivate and inspire us and puts it all together in a way that allows serious discussion, from multiple perspectives, around important decisions.
Our kids are looking at tough decisions as they approach HS graduation. Decisions about where to go to school, what to study, where to live and how to approach career choices. This decisions can have a substantial economic and emotional impact on the family. Decisions that do not meet their needs or environments which de-motivate them can cause additional years of college, and cost as much as $50,000 in additional tuition and fees. Even at a state school it is close to $20,000. Many of our young people are making their choices on the school to attend, the major to pursue, classes and where to live based on pressure from peers, parents and other sources which may require an entirely different environment to be successful.
The awareness gained utilizing the right tool and planning will have a substantial positive impact on the process of making a decision on school, majors, housing, and campus activities and provide your child with a more successful and lower stress experience.
