What do you want to be when you grow up? In this episode, Scott Donnell and Chad Willardson discuss why this is one of the most destructive questions parents can ask their kids. They also reveal how the question puts undue pressure on children as well as better ways to understand your kid's interests and passions.
Scott starts the conversation by describing why you should stop asking your kids what they want to be when they grow up.
When you ask your kids what they want to be when they grow up, their answers are often based on pleasing you.
Scott describes how kids went from wanting to be doctors, firemen, and astronauts to social media influencers and YouTube content creators.
Scott and Chad describe how parents can have conversations with their kids about goals, dreams, and aspirations.
If someone is doing what they love while solving a need in the world, that's the perfect career.
According to Scott, 50% of all jobs today did not exist 15 years ago. That's why we must focus on skill sets and unique abilities that could go into a hundred different jobs.
Help your kids understand there's flexibility. People change careers and change industries all the time, and that's okay.
Chad explains why it's never a good idea to pigeonhole your kids and force them to follow your career path.
For Scott, the type of career your kid will have is based on their current interests and passions.
Scott explains how your kid's unique abilities are the keys to a happy, satisfying life full of wealth, knowledge, clarity, and confidence.
Chad and Scott discuss the best ways to talk to your kids about their future careers.
