Wouldn't you be proud of one of your children if they became a teacher?

Proud of a second for embarking on a career as a pilot?

And the third for running a hospital well?

One of the things I've learned watching children grow to adulthood is that their lives unfold wonderfully and unpredictably, and what I thought was important for a five year old turned out to be less important than what they thought, as a five year old, was important.

Build Legos on Sunday afternoons just for the sake of building Legos and being in the moment with your children. That's what matters.

Good Luck.

The most important thing to me is that they can do what they love every day, and make a living out of it. And that can indeed be teaching or any other job if they wish.

But school already has a system for that, if they want to go down that road. I want to provide them with another option, the one of building and selling their own creations. But it needs to be fun an playful indeed.

I'm definitely enjoying playing Legos with them, backing pizza's and last weekend building a house in Minecraft with my oldest :).
