It’s almost a cliche that parents try to force their children to follow dreams that merely exist in the heads of the parents. But every cliche has a semblance of truth, and to that end, we’d like to address it. You may think that you’re above such things. You may think you’ll be super accepting of whatever your kid wants to do. But just incase you’re secretly not, here’s why it’s important to let your child follow their own dreams.

You Want Them To Love What They Do

Ultimately, if you project onto them your passions, they may or may not fall in love with those passions too. But if they don’t, they’ll never want to pursue it—and you should be okay with that. It doesn’t matter that every person in your family lineage has been doctors. If your kid gets queasy from blood, then it’s just not for them.

Tread Lightly

Let’s take things a bit further. Assume you’ve accepted the fact that your kid isn’t doing what you hoped they’d be doing. We’d recommend being careful how you act with them. Depending on your level of approval of your kid’s choices, you may be making them feel inferior as a result. This is the last thing you want. Reach out to them proactively and tell them that you support them wholeheartedly. Your entire relationship may depend on it.

We didn’t all grow up with a massive set of endless cousins, and we didn’t all grow us as only children.

Every family is different, and that goes for peoples’ family trees as well. We didn’t all grow up with a massive set of endless cousins, and we didn’t all grow us as only children. But while family dynamics are vastly diverse across the spectrum, there are still some recommended beliefs that can positively impact your children’s lives. One of those beliefs is that they should spend plenty of time with their cousins, and here’s why.

A Bridge Toward Society

If parents and siblings are a child’s first introduction to relationships, their cousins are a step right after that. In fact, cousins are probably an even better “test case” for your children because they’re generally not living in the same house as your children, meaning they’re not so different from random people your kid will meet in the real world.

Loving Bonds

In addition, if your children spend a lot of time with their cousins, they’ll likely form loving bonds that’ll last a lifetime. It’s kind of like having extra siblings, and in some cases unique best friends, especially when two cousins are of the same age. Even if you and your sibling aren’t the closest, your respective children will benefit from connecting to one another.
