This is an important question, and one that you should ask your children often. The answer changes, you see, and it’s important to keep abreast of these developments.
The Captain
“I’m going to work at an ice cream shop, to design video games, and to design Hot Wheels tracks with C____ (the boy up the street from Nana’s house).”
The Tank
“I go swimming and make scrambled eggs and go fishing.”
Patchfire’s kids also had good answers.
Fabulous Boy
“A racecar driver.”
Eclectic Girl
“I want to remake things so that they don’t require batteries or electricity to run them.”
When’s the last time you asked your kids what they wanted to be when they grow up? Take a moment and ask them…and then ask them what they think they might need to learn to get there. Not only is this a great way to learn more about kids, but it also shows that kids usually have no idea what they NEED to know to achieve the things they want to achieve.
I’ve always felt a connection to tank. And now I know why.
