How would my parents
kill my career dreams, yet they claim they love me? That’s unbelievable.
Parenting is one of the
complex tasks. This is because parents aren’t dealing with objects or robots,
they are dealing with humans. Humans, as we know it, are very
complex creatures.
Parents sometimes while
trying their best to be perfect indirectly kill their child’s dreams.
This is so unfortunate
because most times it is ignorantly done. Well, that’s the thing about
ignorance. You can never tell what going to happen next. It is just like
walking in the dark. You just might hit your head so badly.
This is the case with so
many parents. They are walking in the dark in relation to taking care of their
children.
It is so sad that while
they are trying their best to raise a better child they kill their child’s
career dreams.
Well, this post aims to
enlighten all the parents out there. I would be presenting some of the ways
parents ignorantly kill their child’s career dreams.
Let’s proceed!
Do your Child has a Dream?
Yes, he or she does. You
need to take the time to ask them. Most times, they may not be able to explain
their dreams so well to you. Some of them are so shy that they cannot even
voice out their minds. I have been once there.
Every child has passion,
dreams, or ambitions. Most times, it is not just clear yet. It is like looking
at smoke but with time the smoke would all clear off.
Parents shouldn’t become
a hindrance to their child's career dreams. They should rather support them.
Let’s proceed even more.
Ways Parents kill their Child’s Career Dreams
1. Not supporting your child academically:
This I believe is the
first way you can destroy your child’s dream career. Education is a powerful
influence on your child’s career dream. Without a good education, your child
may be lost.
I have seen people with
the diligence to study, but they keep failing. They have the passion but things
aren’t just working out in regards to their academics. This isn’t their fault
or the cause of some supernatural forces or something, this is a foundational
problem.
The success of a child
is dependent on the early education that is being given to him or her.
They are many ways of
killing your child’s career dreams by not supporting your child’s academics.
Some of the ways
include;
2. Giving your child excess food to school:
This is the second way parents
ignorantly kill their children's career dreams. They give their child too much food to school in
the hope that their child is healthy.
This is not entirely
bad; however, moderate feeding would be best.
You may not understand
the detrimental effect of over-feeding but I will explain.
Students that eat in
excess would end up sleeping. They would find it very hard to assimilate what
the teacher is teaching.
This can kill their
academic performance and subsequently their career dreams.
3. Giving your child very little food to school:
4. Not allowing them to watch television:
I had dreams but no
doubt, my dreams were fueled by what I watch on television. The cartoons I
watched helped to shape my imagination.
I begin to see the world
from a different viewpoint.
Not allowing your child
to watch the television would make their minds dull. They need to explore their
little but big minds.
5. Allowing them to watch television in excess:
Excess of everything is
bad. Thinking is good. Excessive thinking can kill. Television is good. The
excess of it is bad.
While some parents
restrict their children from watching television, some actually do not.
Worst, they do not even monitor what their child watches on the TV.
If your child watches a
whole lot of garbage, his or her mind might as well become garbage.
Your child’s imagination
depends on this. Your child’s career dreams depend on your child’s imagination.
6. Not being sensitive to their career dream:
This is another way
parents ignorantly kill their child’s career dreams. Your child needs you. Do
not be too busy for them.
You can act as a strong influence
in the promotion of your child’s career dreams. But first, you would need to
have a glimpse of what they love.
You would have to be
sensitive. Your sensitivity to their career dreams matters a lot.
For instance, does your
son have a passion for engineering or science, why don’t you buy him
science-fiction CDs or DVDs, stories, etc.
Your daughter loves
reading and writing stories. They are thousands of children-friendly stories in
the world. It wouldn’t hurt if you can get her some.
Let your child see you
as a positive influence, not as a hindrance.
7. Dictating what they should become:
This is the worst of
all. To some point, this may not be thought to be a form of ignorance but
rather selfishness.
Some parents
intentionally dictate for their children what they what them to become. They
oppose their child’s career dreams and impose theirs.
They do not care about
their child’s career vision or dreams.
This is a good way to
kill your child’s career dreams and joy.
Conclusion
Parents should become a
positive influence in their child’s life and not a negative influence.
