My family has been struggling to make ends meet and I'm desperate to find a way out. How can I convince my children to go to a place with higher wages for labor and not return?

To convince your children to go and not return, you should stress to them the importance of this new opportunity. Talk about how it can lead to a better future for them, with access to more resources and possibly even greater educational opportunities. You should also assure them that despite being far away, they will still remain connected to their friends and family through digital means. Finally, give them a sense of purpose- have each of them come up with a personal goal or challenge that they can work towards during their time there in order to make the experience as meaningful as possible.

One option is to emphasize to your children how fortunate they are to have the education and opportunities available in the U.S. compared to many other places around the world. You could explain that since they’re given these advantages, it’s their responsibility – along with your own –to make use of them and do what they can to better their lives.  Showing them that there are people in this world who aren't so lucky could help drive home your points about global inequality and justice too. Finally, you should make clear that ultimately, their decision is up to them but you will be there providing emotional support regardless of whatever course they choose.
