Family conversations about YKS and the future: frequently asked questions
Short answers, practical first steps, and the right guides. They do not replace therapy or personal assessment.
Do not leave a question unanswered.
Is AilePusulası free, and do I need to sign up?
Yes, all AilePusulası guides, the conversation plan, budget comparison, and worksheet are free. No membership or move to another platform is required. Reflektif is a separate service with its own free and paid plans.
Explore Reflektif →How can a family support a child during the YKS preference period?
First listen to the student's reasons without interrupting and ask what kind of support they want. Do not confuse concern with a prohibition. Check current official requirements together; choose one information or support task. Ownership of the final decision remains with the student.
Read the guide →My child wants a degree I do not want them to choose; what can I do?
Talk separately about the student's reasons and your own concern. Ask whether the objection is based on information or an assumption; research a verifiable question. Do not use pressure, comparisons, or ultimatums. If there is a threat or safety risk, do not continue the conversation flow.
Read the guide →How can a student talk with their family about a degree choice?
Ask for a suitable time; first say whether you want to be heard, receive suggestions, or get information support. Explain your reasons and listen to your family's concern. You can choose one next step without making a final decision immediately.
Read the guide →How should we discuss the budget if a scholarship or dorm place is not certain?
Do not count unconfirmed support as income. Compare two options using the same monthly expense categories; write the deposit and moving costs separately. Discuss a second plan that could work if the scholarship or dorm place does not come through. Verify the conditions in KYGM's current announcement.
Read the guide →Does this site tell me which career is right for me?
No. AilePusulası does not test, diagnose, or match you to a career. It structures conversation and information checking. If you want to research interests and options in a structured way, you can look at the optional Reflektif student area; it does not provide a final decision or success guarantee either.
Explore Reflektif →Are my answers and budget sent to my family or Reflektif?
No. The application keeps choices only in the memory of the open page; there is no API that records answers, cookie, or persistent browser storage. Refreshing or resetting clears them. Printing, copying to the clipboard, and sharing happen through your own actions; take care when sharing a device or file.
Read the guide →When might moving to Reflektif make sense?
If the student wants to explore their own interests or the reasons behind their options after the conversation. The family should not complete a questionnaire for the student or use the result as an order. Before moving on, review Reflektif's plan, age, and privacy terms.
Explore Reflektif →You've opened the conversation. Would you like to explore yourself now?
AilePusulası makes room for a conversation with the family. Reflektif is a separate platform where you can explore interests, personality tendencies, and work values through structured questions and AI-supported conversation.
Moving on is optional. Your AilePusulası choices, budget, and plan are not sent to Reflektif.
The student link goes to Reflektif's Türkiye student area. Select your current language on the destination site; we do not promise Spanish/German support. A separate French Orientation area is also listed below.
