Recently, the hit drama "Our Marriage" has caused a wide range of hot discussions on the Internet, which is full of different voices about the profession of full-time mother and full-time dad.
Some people think that since the husband will make money, there is nothing wrong with being a full-time mother, and some people think that it is too wasteful for a high-achieving student to be a full-time mother or a wet dad at home.
And full-time wives and full-time dads are not strictly speaking a profession, because not only is no one paying them, but they also feel that their daily work with children to do housework is very simple and relaxed, and in the eyes of people in the workplace, their efforts are not worth mentioning at all.
Remember when we were kids, we were often asked: What do you want to be when you grow up? If your answer is "a dad" or "a mom", it's easy to be teased, and even make people think that you don't have great ambitions and will definitely not be out in the future.
So in the process of educating children, do we want to ask children such questions, and if children give the same answer, how should they respond?
Before answering this question, we should consider not whether the child's answer is as you wish, but should think about the child's career enlightenment and planning.
So in life, how do we do career enlightenment and planning for our children?
1. Stay curious
In the "2019 Report on New Occupations in the Life Service Industry", it is shown that there are many new occupations in the life service industry, such as the script designer of the secret room, the e-sports consultant, the housekeeper of the bombing hall and so on.
In the Occupational Classification Dictionary of the People's Republic of China, from 2004 to 2009, the Statistics Bureau issued a total of 12 batches and 122 new occupations.
This proves that many occupations are now unheard of and unseen, so in this ever-changing society, we can't confirm what children will do and what they can do in the future, what we have to do is to keep them curious, if they are interested in a certain industry, a certain field, a certain skill, then let them insist on discovering and deep ploughing, maybe in the future can be combined, become their future career direction.
2. Believe in children
Previously, there was a "Post-00" College Entrance Examination Volunteer Interest Report, in which a total of 772,000 college entrance examination candidates participated in the college entrance examination volunteer assessment, covering 362 cities and counties in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.
The report shows that the "post-00s" are most interested in the humanities majors in the top three are history, cultural relics and museology, and archaeology. You know, these majors are very unpopular when we take the college entrance examination, and the finance, insurance, and investment that we think are very popular have become the most insensitive humanities majors of the "post-00s".
So the children around you, what careers they will pursue in the future, you simply can't confirm, all we can do is believe in them, believe that they have the ability to choose a job that they are interested in and have the ability to stick with.
3. Encourage trial and error
Many graduates may not know what they want to do after graduation, what they can do, and what we parents have to do is encourage them to explore and trial and error.
Young people have time and opportunities, and sometimes these questions need to be constantly tried and made at work to find answers, so they need to be encouraged to work first and then choose a career. Many successful people are just starting to do a job that they may not really like, but in the process of doing it, they will find out which aspects of their abilities are stronger and they are interested in what fields, and then they can deepen their cultivation in these places.
4, do not easily deny the child's ideas
When a child tells us what he thinks, remember not to define the child with his own cognition. In the past, in our view, playing games was not out of the ordinary, then now e-sports is a sports project, and people who play games can not only make money, but also win world championships.
So when a child comes up with a whimsical or childish idea that seems to you, we have to try to think from their point of view, and we can also help the child to have a deep understanding of the field, and only if you understand this enough can you know why the child wants to do this thing.
5. Explore with your child
We don't have to rush to ask our children what career they want to do when they are young, we just need to accompany him to understand different people and things, and accompany them to explore.
If the child is interested in a certain profession, just around the relatives and friends who do this profession, you can talk to the child more, if you do not know how to explore more different occupations with the child, here is recommended that parents can look at the relevant picture books with the child, such as this set of "Children's Dreamer Career Picture Book", which has a total of 20 volumes, including barbers, bakers, cleaners, pilots, farmers, cooks, gymnasts, teachers, actors, nurses, firefighters, postmen and other occupations.
Let children fully understand what people from all walks of life are doing, what they can help, what kind of value they can achieve, when they understand, they may silently plant a small seed in their hearts, waiting for the future to take root.
And this set of books also has audio accompaniment to read, so that you can better accompany the growth of children.
summary
We need to know that instead of asking children what career they want to pursue in the future, it is better to let them think about what kind of person they want to be and what kind of effort they are willing to make for it.
Today's society is ever-changing, we can't pack a ticket to say that the future of the profession must be good, what is not necessarily bad, only suitable for children can be considered good, do you say?
