Is it okay to burden your child with your ambition? Your unfulfilled desires and dreams are yours,not your child's. so do you think those parents are right when they impose their ambition on their children and expect them to pursue that instead of the goals that they have set for themselves?

When the child is small parents should expose the child to all the available opportunities so that the child is able to take a good decision based on his interests. Never should parents force upon the child their ambitions. A dad might want his son to become a pilot, who knows the child might be interested in football. He might later grow up to be a world class soccer player. If the child is forced to become a pilot there might be a negative impact on the child's brain. So parents have to be very careful and should not burden their children with their ambitions.

No Not at all. It is always good to let your child do whatever he has interest in.If he is doing whatever is bieng told by his/her parents & is of not his interest, He/She will not take any interest in what he is doing.
