First, tap children's interest and cultivate children's interest
An 8-year-old boy's dream is to be an architect. The child is very thoughtful and independent. As a parent, we must first find out the interests of our children, such as drawing, Lego, puzzles and so on. Parents can consider enrolling him in painting classes, or preparing painting tools to let him paint as much as possible. It takes time for children's interests to be discovered, not immediately. As parents, we should observe our children more and observe that they will be happy and obsessed when doing something. After observing for a period of time, we will find out where the children's interests are.
Second, parents should fully respect their children's choices and give them enough time and space.
Don't think that a child's dream is to be an architect. It is a big mistake to train him to paint as an architect now. Parents should not worry, let their children pursue hard and explore and learn by themselves. Parents just need to support his needs. For example, he wants a set of building blocks that parents can buy. For example, if he wants to go to the Forbidden City, take him there. On weekdays, I will visit some places of interest and some distinctive buildings with my children and tell them about the history of scenic buildings and so on. You can also buy children some picture books, books about architecture, so that he has the opportunity to absorb architectural culture.
Finally: children's dreams are great. As parents, we should give them full respect and trust, don't blow their dreams, let alone ask them to do this and that with their dreams, but give them full trust, respect and freedom. Children will work hard for their dreams, and parents' excessive attention and anxiety will make children bored.
