Still pushing your child to realise your own dreams? 🤔


It's important for parents to avoid pushing their own desires and dreams onto their children. While parents may have their own aspirations and goals, it's important to remember that children are individuals with their own unique interests, talents, and aspirations.


Pushing children to fulfill the dreams and desires of their parents can put undue pressure on them, leading to stress, anxiety, and a lack of fulfillment in their own lives. It's important for parents to support their children's interests and passions, rather than trying to mold them into something they are not.


Instead of pushing their own desires onto their children, parents can help their children discover and develop their own interests and talents. By encouraging children to explore different hobbies, activities, and areas of study, parents can help them find what they are truly passionate about.


It's also important for parents to listen to their children and support them in their goals and aspirations, even if they may differ from the parents' own desires. By doing so, parents can help their children build self-confidence and a sense of autonomy, which are essential for success and fulfillment in life.


In short, parents should avoid pushing their own desires and dreams onto their children and instead support and encourage them in their own interests and aspirations. This can help children build self-confidence and a sense of autonomy, which are essential for success and fulfillment in life.
