Parents' evening: discover your role in your teenager's study choice
During this inspiring evening, you and your child will be the center of attention. We'll offer a lecture exploring the development of the adolescent brain, the associated behavior, and how you, as a parent, can positively influence their study choices.
We discuss, among other things:
- How the adolescent brain makes choices – and what that means for study choices
- Your role as a parent: supporting without taking over
Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to ask the study choice coaches practical questions about your child's study choice. We hope this evening will help you better understand your child and guide them through this important step towards their future!
The parent evening takes place annually around the end of October. The new date will be announced in August.
Talk about it
What qualities, wishes, and expectations does your child have? By clearly identifying these, you can better find a suitable program together. If you've already attended an open day or a student-for-a-day together, talk about it. What was enjoyable, what was disappointing? Is there enthusiasm to start, or are there still doubts? Does your child have a realistic vision of the program and their future career? Talking about it helps clarify things.
