Perplexed Mother: I Don’t Know How to Guide My Daughter in Choosing Her CCA

Dear Agony Aunt,

I am a mother of a primary school student who is about to start choosing her Core Curricular Activity (CCA). I am feeling quite worried and unsure about how to guide my daughter in making the right choice.

When I was in primary school, I wasn’t very active in school activities, and I fear that I may not be able to provide the right guidance to my daughter.

I am concerned that she may end up with the wrong CCA, and I don’t want her to miss out on opportunities that could benefit her in the long run.

Can you please offer some advice on how I can support my daughter in making this important decision?

Sincerely,
Worried Mother

Dear Worried Mother,

It’s completely understandable to feel concerned about guiding your daughter in choosing her Core Curricular Activity, especially if you didn’t have much experience with it yourself. The most important thing is to have open and supportive communication with your daughter. Encourage her to explore her interests and passions, and help her understand the potential benefits of each activity.

Consider discussing with her the skills and experiences she hopes to gain from her chosen activity. Additionally, reach out to her teachers or school counselors for insights into her strengths and interests. Remember that it’s okay for her to try different activities before settling on one that truly resonates with her.

Ultimately, the goal is to support and encourage your daughter in her decision-making process, while also providing her with the necessary guidance and resources. By doing so, you can help her make a choice that aligns with her interests and aspirations.

Best of luck,
Agony Aunt
