Let’s stop asking kids what they want to be when they grow up.

Why do we do this? I think a lot of it Is conditioning and kids can be horrible to have conversations with (other people/strangers kids). But I’ve started asking ‘what would you change when you’re a grown up’ Or ‘When you’re grown, what would you like to create’. Let’s ask them what they do for fun, what would they make better. I mean, the ideas will mostly be unattainable but if you can’t dream what’s the point. Let’s focus on the possible, not the inevitable.
