Dear Sheetal, your daughter perhaps needs your help in taking the decision. If she has just gotten into 9th standard, she still has two more years to decide the stream she wants to choose. I have an 12 year old and I have realized I need to have thorough information on things and lay it down in front of him which helps him feel guided and take decisions. So perhaps, you could lay down your daughter's plusses . her areas of interest, make a list , get her agreement that the list is right. and then you could lay down all the options she has when she has to make her decision. You know the most beautiful part I have seen is that, one day these kids are totally unclear about things and we would keep worrying and all of a sudden there will be a light bulb moment which will clear all the confusion.. So you still have time, just relax, she will figure it out as she moves closer to the decision making day. just be her guide. tc

and about the maths bit, I just told myself recently after struggling for so many years that maths is not my son's strong subject, and its OK, because he is naturally awesome at SST / Science and so on.. I plan to help him in getting better at maths, but it is not the be all and end all of his academics.. :)

Dear Sheetal, I agree with Neena, in time your daughter will be able to figure out, perhaps you could simply let her just study at her pace an d not be stressed about making choices right now.. It would help her though if she knows that her parents can guide her through the decision making which, as Neena mentioned, we are able to do if we ourselves are aware of their strengths and the choices at school. As for a career, there are so many amazing new choices these days and some more will come up in the next two years. what I would do is to perhaps research and read on the internet about career options for your daughter once she has chosen her stream.
