Allowing Kids to Think Big

I found this wonderful blog post on etsy about letting our children dream big. I find that many times children are steered into a certain direction without much choice. I like the thought of letting them find their way, but giving them the tools to survive and make a difference. My son says he wants to be a blacksmith or work at Aeropostale or Auntie Anne's. I say that sounds like a fine idea. He is 10. My daughter says she wants to be a Mommy or a gymnastic girl at the ripe age of 4. They will have plenty of time to balance their checkbook and pay their bills, for now they should be allowed to dream.
