13 yr old daughter and options part 2

[hammerman]

firstly, a huge thank you to everyone for their advice on my daughter chosing her options.

last night, we sat down and went through what's available on the school website. Apart from the usual compulsory subjects, she is allowed to choose 3 options or 2 options and one option for vocational training and to work for an NVQ.

She chose Biology and photography plus she's also chosed to do day release at college doing beauty therapy working towards an NVQ

I let her make all the choices but tried explaining that what she wants now may not turn out to what she wants in later life and explained about the current employment situation. She's well happy with that and having a happy daughter makes me a happy daddy.

Thanks again.

Well done, there's always a way to compromise if we talk about it.

Beauty can earn you more than you think. Even in the recession women still want their legs waxed :-)

Well done, I think beauty therapy is a good move, it's always something you can turn turn your hand to. A happy daughter in the house, umm, wonder what that feels like?

nice one. it's a difficult time and i remember how stressful it is for everybody at all stages of education choice....from gsce's to phd's in my house! it's always such a relef when it's decided and done. now all you have to do is help with her school and (home)work and support her through the now very costly education system! you'll do a grand job...well done x
