Tread Lightly On Others Dreams; Especially Your Kids.
The Dreams of Others are given through words and the receiver should take care not to squash anothers Dreams; regardless of how ridiculous it is. I believe proper guidance is much needed in this chaotic span of time.
These trying times make or break a lot of hopes and dreams. The one person one would hope to have support is their immediate family, so support them and guide them. If the dream is far-fetched guide them to the farthest point logically possible, until they reach their own "ends".
Don't allow someone to take anothers dream and abuse that dream because dreams have enemies and that is by the dreamless and souless people, though I say to try to guide these empty individuals' to a higher point as well, if possible.
Let's attempt to switch between spot light thinking into lantern thinking, as Alison Gopnik has stated. I think that this will help a lot in making a dream into reality. It can also open up your mind to the new possibilities.
See everyone around you as your child with potential to do great things; be the light at the end of anothers dream filled tunnel.
Those who kills dreams has shot their and their childrens feet.

Please don't. Leave them in peace. Don't even play Mozart to them intentionally in hope to smarten up the offspring. The best for the unborn child is a mother in harmony. That's all what's needed.
It is an interesting concept and I heard it had factual positive affect on the child?
It worked out fine for my brother and me, as both of us became as imperfect as all of us... :o)

So how do you avoid stepping on those dreams if your child consequently devalues any further need for a broader education?
In my opinion, to make a personal dream become true you must be willing to get through boot camp!
Children should be guided in learning how to fail and how to get up again. This needs support, care and love so that they can grow stronger in themselves to find their own way one day.
My dreams about pirate captains, astronauts and X-Wing fighter pilots had been friendly noticed by my parents, yet that was about it. And as long as I did not focus to much on it, and neglect my other 'duties', I could wish to become what ever I choose to. At times this changed even at a daily basis ... :o)

In my experience it takes a little nudging to get kids to think in terms of keeping their options open by investing in a versatile foundation of skills. It takes maturity to understand the value of that.

I think parents from underdeveloped countries probably want the best for their children as well, but I the backdrop of their society would really set up the childs choices, like if you were a female child in a middle eastern country, though what the child does is her own choice.

I was also considering a circumstance from my own life. My youngest is now 21 and I did not date for 2 years after her dad left. She and her brothers decided that was unhealthy and they had their own ideas of what my life should be like. Some parents have trouble realizing kids have grown up and in finding their own lives again. Some kids have trouble seeing their parents as adults in their own right.
