Fear of judgement and the 4+ assessments
/Do you fear judgement?
Do you fear people will judge you for your choice to support your child to prepare for their 4+ assessments?
If you do, you need to do some work on that because it will hold you back. It will make you doubt yourself. It will make you want to believe what this other person is saying to you.
Here are some of the ways my clients have been judged in the past and are currently being judged today.
Perhaps my clients will tell their friends that they are planning to send their child to a 4+ assessment at the likes of Westminster, Highgate or Haberdashers for example. Their friends will say something like…
‘You’re preparing your child for a 4+ assessment? What’s wrong with you?’
‘Your child is only 1/2/3/4? What do you think you can really teach them at that age?’
‘That’s ridiculous!’
‘The schools will know who has been tutored and your child will fail!’
‘Your child should be out playing not learning how to read/write/count etc etc!’
These comments, first of all make zero sense. Second of all if you believe them, they will stall your progress - and your child’s progress!
In this people pleasing society that we live in, we will want to listen to these friends and we will want to show them that we will stop doing what they are judging us about - which is insanity by the way!
We will always be judged no matter what we do and no matter what we say.
Hear the judgements and carry on.
Make a choice. Be happy about your choice. And go all in.
