Positioning Parents: How to help your children grasp their dreams.

Thinking back to when I was a child, I can’t help but think about all the dreams I had while I was growing up. I remember that I always wanted to be like Super Woman and save the day or like Neil Armstrong and walk on the moon. Dreams were my playground that helped me realize my true potential in life. If no one dreams then how can we grow as a society and individuals. Where will the cure for cancer come from if no one has dreams? Thus the first step as parents is to ask your children the details of their dreams. It is so easy to pass on our own desires to our children and forget to listen to their aspirations. Thus the second step and the most important step is to be there for your children and give them the support they so desperately need without altering their imaginations. Without support, dreams never come into fruition. Therefore listen to your children’s hopes and support their dreams.  Through active dream building your children will grow confident in their own imaginations and reach for the stars. Therefore, with love, patience, and advice you will help turn your children’s dreams into realities.
