Well-becoming factors important to CYP and parents
Achievement now for the future
PC039 (primary CYP aged 10): “…GCSEs and exams…you need to know it…[It’s important to] where you’re going to work….”PC106 (secondary CYP aged 14): “The field of work I want to go into, you can’t get into it without school.”
PC004 (primary CYP aged 10): “….If you don’t get an education, you’re more likely not to get money and you won’t be able to pay something in the future...”PC023 (primary CYP aged 8) “I’m going to pass university and…have a good job…I don’t want to mess about and be poor….”
PA089 (primary parent): “…. education…university. She says she wants to be a vet, and I would love nothing more than for her to achieve that….”
Future physical and emotional security
PC034 (secondary CYP aged 12): “….I’ve heard so many stories of people not being able to afford houses because of inflation…I just hope that I’ll be able to afford a house.”PC043 (secondary CYP aged 11): “…you get money, and you can feed yourself and look after yourself…As long as you have food and a home, that’s really all you need….”
PA031 (secondary parent): “….financial burdens and things ….It’s so expensive….I do save for them every week… I doubt it will be enough for a deposit on a house…”PA036 (secondary parent): “…I think financial, and job, security are going to be important…There are so many jobs that are zero hours contracts…I’m really worried….”
PA091 (primary parent): “…part of it is just learning self-discipline…It’s rules for as you get older…learn how to have that balance to try and keep healthy and happy.”PA017 (primary parent): “…I read somewhere, if they do gymnastics when they’re little…it makes their joints more open and more able to do things as they get older.….they’ll be conscious that they like to move their body.”
PA112 (secondary parent): “if you’ve tested out and you know what strong bonds are…that gives you the confidence in any new relationship…”PA037 (secondary parent): “…social relationships…that confidence...to…speak to people…It’s important for them to feel a part of society, and to feel that they fit somewhere.”
Future attachment
PC109 (secondary CYP aged 12): “Getting married, having children…I want that…”PC111 (secondary CYP aged 14): “...to have my own children. I’d like to settle down and have a family….”
PA110 (secondary parent): “…people her own age that she can relate to…and hopefully those friendships will last well into adulthood…”PA011 (primary parent): “[friendship] gives him confidence about himself and…social skills. And practising social skills, really, with the safe people that are in his life….”
Future identity
PC032 (secondary CYP aged 12): “I want to be a doctor….it’s about helping people…”PC038 (secondary CYP aged 13): “I really want to be a nurse…talking to people about if they have a problem and helping them.”
PA036 (secondary parent): “…He’s got to decide what his sexuality is or whether he gets married….I don’t have a vision of what we’re trying to turn him into beyond somebody who can…feel comfortable with who he is…..”PA100 (secondary parent): “As a child…you should have a go at lots of different things and discover what you actually like…. He [CYP] might…be an old man in his shed with his woodworking tools and talk about when he was 11, he was bought a plane….”
Well-becoming factors important just to parents
Future independence
PA025 (primary parent): “you can wrap them in cotton wool too much. I think they need to be made aware….what’s bad and what’s not….”PA105 (secondary parent): “….She’s got to have small risks...got to be able to cope with…risks…if something happens, know that she can deal with them ….”
