Through toys children are able to discover their interests, talents and skills..More often their interest develop during their childhood is carried through their adulthood. For examples, if one loves to pretend as a doctors, he will likely pursue a career in medicine, or if child is interested in fire, he may likely be a fireman or an arsonist..But, I do not rule out the possibilities that they will lose their childlhood interest as they grow, as people changes and so is their ideal careers.. How about you? Do you think the toys or roles which you like to portray have great influence on what you becomes now?

I really do not know. I know that I had a great interest in horses and art when I was child. I do not do anything with either now. I once trained horses and dabbled in art, but for a great interest I do not it have anymore. I think sometimes we out grow our interests. Have a blessed day.

I agree with you. If we are not doing something that makes us happy, we are not fulfilling our plan for our life. If you are not happy in what you are doing, you have a very unhappy life. Have a blessed life.

it is easy to do work or a task if we really like it and never ever fall into doing a work or a task from a peer pressure..it really result to regret for the wrong decision...

It is pretty normal and the interest lost as we divert to do other things..as the saying goes whatever things that can make us happy..you should pursue it with all your heart that you follow your desires without regret whatever outcomes it becomes..

Hello neel, Yes,there is a possiblity that from childhood interests we will be able to see or foresee a childs dream when they grow up.Most likely it is,but there are some kids that changes their interests as they grow up,maybe due to influences of friends or being practical of choosing a career to what they feel is "in demand". Like my daughter,next year she will be attending college then,eversince as a kid she loves music a lot,she can play various musical instrument and sings well too.She's a member of an orchestra playing the sax and been exposed to concerts.But,until now she haven't made up her mind if what course she will be taking next year.And,i don't want to dictate her,i want her to choose her own career,i just give her advices and i will support whatever she will choose when she made up her mind.

That is better to let your daughter choose what career or profession she really like..It is very wrong notion to insist or pressure children to take up a course in which they lack interest as they may likely to fail the subjects or your high expectation with them would likely to fail..because they feel being deprive of the freedom to choose what they want..after all it is their career and whatever makes them comfortable..just go on and seal them with your out most approval and smile..

It maybe or may not. As you said there is change. They will undergo school, primary, secondary and college, there are many factors that will change their interest from their childhood to maturity. It is not when a child plays a doctor in a school play or play as a doctor playing with their dolls, they will become a doctor when they finished school. Maybe if that is really their choice in the first place but many things will come along that will make their decision and may end up being with different profession. Me during my childhood, I want to be a doctor, but when a doctor hurt me with her needle I change my mind quickly, I don’t want to be a doctor I want to be a saleslady. But who I am now I am in Supply.

Some of your dreams when you are a child changes too, when you grow old and influences with the others factors such, as your parents have no enough financial resources to support you with expensive courses, your likes changes, you have been influences by your friends and others peers, the courses you like before is no longer in demands as a job. Lastly, you decide with your life and your courses of your choice is what makes you happy. You follow it with your heart and mind. Why thrive for a degree courses when you never feel happy? As long as you could afford to take the degrees courses of profession you like to proceed without need for intervention of other people. It's your life after all..

As a kid we are influenced by everything easily so normally wen they see a doctor they start saying that they will become doctors, then they see an aircraft and they start saying that they will become pilots and so on. But the kind of toys children use for playing effect their minds in some way atleast. Like the girls who are more inclined to play with dolls, kitchen set grow up to be better in taking care of the house. Guys who like to break all their toys and then try to mend them themselves normally can take care of all the fittings and fixings to be done in the house. This is just my view. what do you think?

All of those things which a child emulate are influence by the movies and upon watching movies or meeting a person whose role correspondence to their target role to perform when they grow up. Some child who grow to become adults have pursued their dreams..it may start as a role play and complete with a look like devices and even pair with a costumes..But, the preferences of their career or profession due to peer pressure, sometimes from what profession is on demand they just copy it and then some are influences with the decision of their parents...Girls and Boys really have different interest and is really visible from their acts when they are playing..but if both likes the same things like dressing role playing, make up ..it is likely the boys ended as a gay..probably...
