Academic teaching is highly valued in our Iranian culture. The idea that someone with a university degree is the wish that many factors such as status, position, opportunity, labels, and power goes.

Education systems that we Iranians are competitive and strictly according to when it ranked no focus on the applicability of this knowledge in the real world.

As a clinical consultant, I have a lot of young Iranians who have gone through all the steps to see to get to the top of the mountain of training, then they forgot about the car. In some cases, the choice of education equal to the survival of parents nagging about the future, comparisons with other children, and the risk of losing their marital status. In many cases, say, my young clients to me how much they have lost interest, even if they tried to meet the needs of the family of them. Normally this is the message most parents give their Iranian youth to study and we pay. In this scenario, the common people is the sense of identity, feelings, perceptions, and not the election in question.

Many of these young clients tell me how many families have done everything in their power to ensure their secondary and post-secondary education.

However, these people in their 30 years they have reached the point where they have sacrificed their lives for a dream realized. The question is, whose dream?

To be fair, we say, we know that most parents are ready in our communities, doing everything for their children to Dr., Mohandas and lawyers are. Most Iranian families to fight for the good of the upbringing of their children. Families in Iran, they are willing to sell their home and use their life savings to send their children to the best universities in Europe or North America.

Families force their children find it difficult to programs that do not actually on the list of these young people. I used the word “evil” because it is clear that families do not consider the effect of this push and pull game they are working in. These families hard to get their youth to attend schools and universities, while forget to teach young people their independence and social skills.

Education has become a discourse that impacts the lives of people in a multidimensional way.

Unfortunately, most of the time, that we direct Iranian parents, our children to dream that has basically lost us and them is not necessary to realize. Families who report that their child to a “doctor” will be coming, I always wonder about the mental health in this family.

Families who say to me how many doctors they have in their large group and how much they are afraid to fail to get another doctor, now that they have come here in Canada.

There is no doubt that Iran has revolutionized our lives in the past 30 years, apparently no one lives in her own skin.

Now you may ask, what’s wrong with ambition? What’s wrong with the education of our children?

Sure, there’s nothing wrong with supporting our children to attend post-secondary education. There is nothing wrong with being a parent ambitious. In fact, the pursuit of academic education is valued in all communities and we must continue to strengthen by all means to us.

But what happens to the need for knowledge and wisdom, primarily scientific work?

What happens to social relationships and interactions with basic skills in the world?

What is to teach our children to dream and then encourage them to realize their dreams?

Most of us do not know how negative impacts on the health of our children and how we carry emotional stress in a young body, if we forced them to follow a certain pattern.

How can we know what is good and bad for our children?

How do we distinguish between raising happy, independent and raise healthy children compared children trained, discouraged and spoiled differ?

These are all questions that are answered before talking with our young children what they should and should not have to be done.

Honesty comes first.

It is certainly my belief that health communication is the most important step toward rebuilding what was destroyed over the decades. I think we need to challenge Iranian beliefs, the analysis of our own culture, as we find our strength and also, as it prevents us from self-development. Our next generations could better adapt to their habitat, if we have a thorough and honest analysis of what allows us to be where we are today. I want to encourage healthy communication, build positive participation and cooperation in an attempt to healthy families in our Iranian community. Mental health problems are my main areas of interest where I hope to offer a multicultural sensitive counseling.
