Download or read book How to Plan Your Child s Life and Educational Future written by Matthew Martin McKissick and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is changing drastically, modernizing in ways that will shape future generations. Although the opening of borders and the unity of cultural differences has brought some uniformity in beliefs toward world peace, it has also caused a crisis affecting the survival of future generations. While advancement in technology and cultural unity are credited for creating a better world, within these blessings, this has also brought forth a greater intensity in which future generations must be more assertive toward reaching their goals and successes. Underprivileged people from foreign countries now have access to the same opportunity for future careers in prestigious jobs, and they have greater ambition and desire than their competitors, the laid-back privileged individuals. Although overpopulation and economic changes will always cause a struggle for employment, there will be a greater opportunity for those parents who are aware of the changes affecting their child's future displacement of jobs. In this turning of a new century and millennium, every child's future will be at risk. So parents need to be aware of the crisis ahead in which their child is vulnerable and could become a possible victim of being a lost soul in a world of expectations. If parents want their child to have future job prosperity and success, this insightful book will warn them of the dangers ahead. Otherwise, all the time and finances invested toward their child's future well-being will have no value. Highly recommended for new born parents and parents who have young children ages 3 to 9 http: //sbpra.com/MatthewMartinMcKissick
