Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
One of the best ways that parents can help their teenage children prepare for adult life is to encourage them to take a part-time job.
Nowadays, we can read a lot of articles that parents spoil their children since most of families in China have only one child each and that the children raised in such families can't grow up and even live by themselves. Many educational experts point that it's very important for parents to prepare the children for the future adult life by some reasonable and strong measures. In my mind, taking a part-time job is a good choice to make the teenagers mature and grow up .
As an adult, he should take responsibilities of work and family. However, work is the basic and important part of life in adults lives since work can make us to support our families. But our children have spend most of their time on study at schools, none of them can learn how to work well realisticly before they step into the society. Thus the opportunity of part-job offers such a good solution to this dilemma that children can learn many valuable working skills such as how to work efficiently and collaborate with others and so on.
When it comes to collaboration, we know that interpersonal skills such as communication and leaderships are really important for an adult. If the children can experience the part-time job before graduation, they will practice and improve their interpersonal skills that are totally different from those learned on textbooks at schools. For example, my little sister is very brilliant and good at study at schools, making all teachers like her a lot. But she is not very popular among students since she doesn't like to communicate with the other classmates. I know it's not good for her career development in the future but have no way to influence her because she doesn't care about it. However, after a summer part-time job in a restaurant, she become to be aware the importance of interaction with the others since she needs help badly at work. Then she pays attention on the effort to get along well with the others.
For all the reasons above, I am definitely convinced that taking a part-time job will benefit the children in the future and make them prepare well to get into the society as adults. However, study is the first priority in children's daily life, so parents should consider the schedule of children's part-time jobs without interfering their study.
