That is one of the biggest mistakes that all of the parents do - they have plans for their children which is in itself not the best approach to raise your children.
I never understood it actually. But one day I got it. Parents basically want to feel proud that's they have raised a smart kid and then share that with other parents.
Instead of thinking what do you think your kids have to do with their life, I believe each parent has to make a deliberate decision to focus on what their kids actually want with their life. Help and navigation of defining who they are will be very much appreciated, believe me.
There's nothing better to help your kid achieve their dream, instead of forcing them to achieve your dream. That's what I believe in I guess :)
You got it man! My job as a parent is to raise responsible, kind adults who can make wise decisions and understand the consequences of those decisions. Simple, but hard to execute!
Nice, you're a great man and a great parent.
