When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Have you ever thought that, from years ago, a five year old child is totally different from their peers today.
Years ago, when parents or grandparents asked the younger ones what they wanted to be when you grow up? They answered; a doctor, a teacher, an engineer, a pilot, a mechanic, …. . Their dream was to go to university, to work hard and earn their living from a prestigious job. Sometimes their dream came true, and sometimes not.
Nowadays, a five years old child, in most cases, doesn’t have a specific dream. They don’t even have the ability to talk and think about that at these early years of their age. Although, they are far smarter in technology than their peers years ago.
The generation gap is massive but perhaps that depends on how we raise up our children and what changes are taking place in the world around us. Unfortunately, the modern phenomenon of easy money is erasing the what do you want to be when you grow up question from the dreams of this generation’s young children
By the way, I remembe I always wanted to be a teacher though that changed later on in my life.
With all the best wishes,
