Our children's dreams

I always love working with children. Unlike us, their dreams are infinite. It's inspiring to listen to their dreams. Children start dreaming at an early age. They think about their future career, their education, wealth and so on. Their dreams can be enormous!!

As parents, we have control over whether our children achieve their dreams. For the children, parents are motivation, inspiration and leadership in other words their role model. At times we might think that our child's dreams are unrealistic. That is the negative adult in us. If you think about it, we are probably the only support they have. We should believe in them because they believe in themselves.

Don't deny their dreams

Children dream big and to them everything is possible. That is great isn't it? It should be that way. If we deny our children's dreams, or their right to dream, we are undermining their chances of achievement.

Don't get in the way

We get in the way when we deny their dreams, control them, deny them a good education, don't teach them life skills and etc.

Our goal as parents is to meet our parental obligations and provide a path toward success for our children to follow. If we cut off our children before they even get started, it doesn't just crush them right now, it will negatively impact them in their adult life.

Good role models

In many ways...we are the key to our children's success in life. Agree?

Nurture them

As children grows, they will develop certain interest and some might turn into dreams. We should show them how and help lead the way to achieve these dreams. We should help them record down their dreams. Do some research about it and expose the them to the information available, practical experiences. Don't over do it. Start with basics. Along the way... help them chart the little progress or achievements they make.

I hope Reese doesn't ask to the first man on some planet... I don't think I have the resources ....then again... I must not be negative... happy parenting!
