Passage 2
Have you ever considered building a better future for your children?Let us start from here together to create a better future for them. The following are some tips for you.

In addition to presenting basic school subjects, you can teach them to be leaders. You can motivate them to want to make a difference themselves.

Many social workers are associated with governmental agencies, but there are also jobs in schools, nonprofit organizations and hospitals.
Child psychology
Studying child psychology may lead to a career option. Psychologists can provide support for children with mental-health problems and give them a place to be open about their feelings.
You may wish to become a school psychologist and guide children (and their parents) through the education system while dealing with mental illness or trauma. As a psychologist, you will help your patients find the source of trauma or stress and discover ways of reducing or removing the problem. You may even conduct your own research on new treatment methods.
