I like your conception about supporting your kids to grow on what they like. I didn't want to be forced in the medical field by my parents. I liked computers and was dreaming about being a software developer since I was a kid.
But, on the other hand, I do encourage my kid, who is 7 years old, to get his hand dirty with programming. I let them solve problems using Scratch and Minecraft Education Edition.
I am not forcing him to be a software engineer at all. But I can see how software development has changed my approach to solving problems. It trains the mind to tackle problems and solve them.
- decafninja 3y agoFor a very long time my biggest regret was not following my parents’ desire for me to become a doctor. I “followed my dreams”, being naive and young. I think I ended up ok. But I would have saved myself a lot of stress and headache had I gone to med school. Granted - I’ll probably have experienced a lot of a different kind of stress.
