      Predict your child's future job, even if you have no idea. Think about his or her inclinations and temperament. Then post the possible jobs he or she might end up doing and come back to this thread to see if you were right in 10 (or more) years ! šŸ˜‰

              i) if a kindergarten pre-school child is talkative, can read storybooks well at K1, K2 and is highly articulate, speaks confidently, can tell & remember stories very well out of storybooks he had just read a few minutes ago, most likely he can grow up to be a lawyer, or in a profession related to sales and marketing, writing, journalism, newspaper reporting news caster, mass communication, etc.


              ii) if a kindergarten pre-school child is inquistive, likes to run around at Botanic garden carrying a notebook in his hands to jot down notes, take down the names of various plants, holds a magnifying glass to peep at plants at close range (examine leaves, petals, flower bud, stem, etc), is curious, and at home use microscope examine plant specimen, enjoys going National library to borrow plant books to read up about Botany, and at each birthday hopes to receive a botany book on plants as a birthday gift, most likely he'll grow up to be a botantist, a scientist researcher, or perhaps in a profession related to the medical & research field.

              iii) if a kindergarten pre-school child can't keep still, behaves like a monkey and shows no interest in academic studies, but loves to dance, she may be a child prodigy, exhibit great talent in dancing. She has found her passion in life.

              example:
              Gillian Lynne
              http://thebravediscussion.com/2011/07/finding-your-passion-gillian-lynne/

              when young Gillian was a pre-school kindergarten kid, her mother was very upset & frustrated - she doesn't know what to do with this young child. Kindergarten teachers feedback to her that little Gillian wasn't interested in learning. One fine day, she brought her to see a doctor one day, trying to find out what's wrong with her daughter - who can't sit still, was very active, and always jumping around like a monkey.

              the doctor suggested that they switch off all the lights inside the room, on the radio music then both she and the doctor walked out of the room, peeping at what her daughter was doing inside the room, from a small glass outside.

              even when all the lights were turned off, the mother saw that little Gillian was dancing happily away inside the room, existing in her own unique world, oblivious to the whole outside world. The doctor congratulate her mum that Gillian is born with a natural gift and talent. She is a natural born dancer. Take her to a dance school !

              today, Gillian is a very successful theatre dancer. She is very rich and successful, in her 70s going 80s. but when you look at her, she has so much abundantful energy that many people thought she's only half her age. Inspite of going for major surgery on her two hip bones, she is still a great dancer, till this age. When people curious, ask her - what is the secret recipe behind your relentless bound source of energy, even at this age ? she replied that - she can't stop dancing and will never stop dancing !

              here is an interview of her on Youtube.
              she's amazing. at this age, still teaching youngsters how to dance.
              she is also choregrapher for 'Phantom of the Opera' :-

                  Be a SAHM with a maid. :rotflmao: She can go shopping like a tai-tai, watch Korean dramas on TV and reprimand the maid. (Just kidding!)

                    what do you think your kid will be?
                    i think my ds1 may be a teacher.
                    he enjoys giving ds2 'lessons' and make his own worksheet materials for ds2.
                    he thrives in structure and predictive environment (school environment seems most stable).
                    he enjoys interacting with young children.
                    he enjoys bossing people around, so being a teacher can boss a class of 40 students, no? :yikes: šŸ˜“

                      :rotflmao: :rotflmao: I also suspect DS would be a teacher since he says he \"thinks\" he can be a better teacher than me. :roll:

                      DD, think she'll be happy being a SAHM and teaching piano in her spare time šŸ˜‰
