This one is dedicated to an older audience, more specifically those who have children or are in charge of a younger person's future in any way. Do NOT try to control your child or make your child a clone of yourself. Your children are not objects that you can control, they are their own person, and have their own personalities, more often than not very different than your own. It would be an enormous tragedy to scare your child out of doing something they love, and trying to make them do something YOU feel fits them best. Your child will not respect you for this; they will suffer, and may even resent you for it, because it is in our nature as humans to do as such. Encourage your child to follow his or her dream, be enthusiastic when he or she tells you about their passions, and be good for their mental health rather than a negative impact. Your concerns may be for their ultimate wellbeing, but your child will not be happy if they don't at least try to fulfill their passion. Spread positivity, love and good vibes in the family!
