“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
.
Is the WRONG question 🙅🏻♀️ to ask our children.
.
In this changing world where more than 60% of the jobs in the future don’t yet exist today, that question pigeonholes their expectations and limit their choices, not to mention that “profession” may not even exist anymore.
.
Instead, ask them:
⭐️ What do you enjoy doing?
⭐️ What problems do you want to solve?
⭐️What are you going to impart on the world?
⭐️What good will you accomplish for others?
.
Asking better questions help you and your children recognise their strengths and together, you can work towards the development of the things they're passionate about.
.
I know, it isn’t easy. We are conditioned to think occupations as a particular set of jobs. For instance, when I first asked Lauren, she said she wanted to be a gymnast or a performer. I probed more and asked her why? She mentioned that she likes to entertain people and make them smile.
.
That’s it! It opens up a whole new world of possibilities when she realised that making others smile makes her happy too.
.
As for Georgia, she loves fixing things around the house and she wants to “invent” things. A big word for a 4-year-old but it’s absolutely possible.
.
Kids are new to the world, with no preconceived notions of what can be done. Everything and anything is possible. I believe it’s our job to encourage them to think outside of what seems possible.

I was a straight As student throughout primary and secondary school. Because of my family financial situation at the time (1997), I didn’t go to college/university immediately. Yes, I could have taken a scholarship but heck, dad couldn’t even afford rent, so I worked to help out.
So you see, good grades didn’t do shit for me. It didn’t put food on our table then and it certainly didn’t help me get to where I am today. I worked hard, took risks, failed, picked myself up and tried again and again.
Today, I’m an author, business owner and proud mum to three beautiful children.
I’m not saying that school isn’t important. And I’d be lying if I say I don’t care about my kids’ PSLE when the time comes. But all I want is for them to give their best. As with everything else in life, it’s the right attitude and perseverance that make or break you, not your exam scores.
I support Life Beyond Grades because children are having depression and taking their lives because of anxieties from examination results. I don’t ever want my kids to feel that way.
Join us by sharing your story / PSLE score with the hashtag #lifebeyondgrades. Let’s do it for our children.❤️

What’s more important? Their happiness vs their grades.
.
I understand why a portion of you may pick grades over happiness because that seems more tangible. You are thinking long term future success over short term happiness.
.
But if you really think about it, are grades the only precursor to success in the future? At the expense of our children’s only childhood and happiness?
.
Of course, it’s best if we can strive for both happiness and grades. We have to be very mindful about it. The choice is ours.💗 #lifebeyondgrades
