To teach your kids what you want them to be in the future?
Or have them choose what they want for their future?
So, I was the one who attended my nephew's Career day at Four Square church today and I was amazed on how parents dressed up their kids. And this makes me think that, is this what their kids really want? Or is this what their parents want for their kids?
Then Teacher answered my thoughts.
Kids should need guidance in every stage of their lives. If this is what they want at the moment, let them be but don't neglect their ideas in the future. Because we never can tell their passion when they come of age. As parents, we need to guide them, taking care of them and stay with them.
For now, let them be kids and teach them a good deed.

Kiddies have to be what they feel they need to be.
Its true that they can change their minds many times but they will always be what they want in the end.

I agree in the second one, let them choose what they want to be in the future. This is my observation when I was teaching before that, kids with pressure from parents to be on top or to have a good grades and deprived from doing what they want are those stubborn kids in the class, while those kids who are in average level , are those good follower and happy kids.

Guidance is very important for kids' mental, personal development. I kudos the teacher for explaining that.

How cute! 
I used to change my ideal job like the moon changes its phases. 
I think I would suggest some careers to my children, depending on what they like and their skills.
The last decision is up to them, of course.

kids should have their own ambitions in life and we their parents should guide and assist them, not let them take the career we want them to have.
