Gentle Encouragement
Posted by admin under Training
I have been trying to encourage my daughter to do some online training classes. She is very shy and is not keen on going out and doing a course, but since leaving school, she has not really done very much with herself. I think that this might do her good as I am hoping that she might be able to form bonds with people on line and it might help improve her social skills. It should also give her some qualifications which she should be able to use when she is ready to go out and get a job. At the moment she is working with me at home running my business. I think this is better than doing nothing, but I do not really have enough work for two people and cannot afford to pay her very much. I hope that once she does the remote classroom training she may feel that she can do a course outside of home and that might be enough to boost her confidence and help her to get a job fairly soon. I am not going to push her too hard as I do not think that will help and in fact may make her even less likely to do it. I think she needs to make that decision for herself and when she does do it and knows it came from her that will give her an even greater confidence boost.
