Big career plans in young children may hint at greater emotional strength and resilience, a study suggests.

Researchers at London University's Institute of Education asked more than 11,000 seven-year-olds what they wanted to be when they grew up.

They found ambitious children from poor homes had fewer behavioural problems than those with lesser dreams.

\"Their ambitions may reflect their sense of hope for the future,\" said lead author, Prof Eirini Flouri.

\"Early aspirations may therefore be a very good indicator of a cluster of characteristics associated with resilience - or the lack of it - such as self-perception of competence or a feeling of hopelessness,\" said Prof Flouri.

Sporting dreams
The researchers acknowledge that children's career aspirations at age seven are largely dreams rather than realistic plans, for example a third of the boys interviewed said they wanted to be footballers or other sportsmen.

The 12 most popular occupations with seven-year-olds were teacher, scientist, hairdresser, sports player, firefighter, police officer, artist, entertainer, animal carer, vet, doctor and builder.

The researchers cross-referenced the results of the survey with data on the same children's emotional state, drawn from questionnaires on their strengths and difficulties filled in by their mothers. They also factored in details of family income.

The findings suggested children from the poorest families were more likely than their better-off peers to want to work in the public sector perhaps as doctors, teachers or police officers.

The study also revealed most of the seven-year-olds interviewed were very ambitious. Just over 80% were hoping for professional or managerial jobs, with girls more likely to dream of professional careers.

The researchers found girls were more interested in careers involving helping or caring for people or animals while boys were more likely to be motivated by dreams of becoming powerful, popular or wealthy.

The study found 12% of boys wanted to be policemen and 5% firemen. It also revealed 23% of girls wanted to be teachers, 12% vets and 6% doctors.

The study was based on data from the Millennium Cohort Study, which has been following more than 19,000 children from all over the the UK since they were born in 2000-1. The aim is to continue to follow them into adulthood. The study is run by the Centre for Longitudinal Studies at the Institute of Education.

\"Career\" might seem like a big word for primary school pupils, but it can be beneficial to start developing their aspirations at this tender stage of life. MOE's Education and Career Guidance (ECG) programme runs from Primary 3 up to pre-university level, and for primary school pupils, the focus is on career awareness.

Mr Jeffrey Chan Wai Meng is a senior specialist in MOE's Guidance Branch. He conceptualises, plans and implements the ECG programme. Describing the primary school ECG programme, which is carried out during a specially designated Form Teacher Guidance Period, he says, \"It serves to help the child discover themselves, their interests and abilities, and point to suitable educational pathways that develop them for work and life.\"

Mr Chan adds, \"It's never too early to start. In fact, research has shown that the upper primary period is an opportune time to provide career education, as pupils are developmentally ready to benefit from broadening their horizon about career options.\" Here is his five-step guided approach for parents who want to nurture their child's aspirations:

1. Ask: What do you want to achieve? - Have your child write down what he or she wants to achieve.
2. Ask: How will you get there? - Have him or her come up with a plan on how he or she intends to attain those goals.
3. Establish accountability - Have your child put up the action plan somewhere prominent. Constant sight of it will help him or her stay motivated and on-track.
4. Review your child's achievements - Ask: Are the goals, big or small, being met?
5. Review these goals, plans and outcomes - Throughout the year, review the plan and progress with your child. Do adjustments need to be made? How does your child feel about his or her progress?

Very nice!! The price of 75RM per child for Kidzania seems super worthwhile then.

Interesting that your child chose to be cashier. Must be the electronic scanner. They should have provided cooler devices for other occupations yea? =D

Adults also need tickets to accompany kids in?

Yup. Adults also need. But it's cheaper than the kids.

Wow Kidzania looks awesome! Based on what I see at the website at least. Have you brought your kids there Dora1? How is it like in terms of the actual activities?

Yes yes!!! It's really awesome!!! DD went to Babyboss in TW when she was 4+yo, and Kidzania when she was 5+yo. Both are very similar in concept and equally awesome, just that Babyboss is in Chinese and Kidzania is English.
They really get to experience the jobs, like as a surgeon inside an operation theatre operating on a dummy with real equipment, manicure, supermarket cashier (they get to use a real barcode scanner!) It's really cool. Actually supermarket cashier was the job that DD wanted after she left Kidzania! There will be other kids who will go there and select real items (real canned food etc) and put into a mini trolley and push to the cashier and pay kidzania money. All very cool!!
And for every profession that they experience, they are paid wages in kidzania or baby boss dollars. For the babyboss one, they can even open a savings account and save all their money with the bank (also operated by kids!) - complete with a working ATM card and ATM machine! They can choose to spend their money to redeem small gifts or food. If they want the bigger toys, then they must learn not to spend the money on small toys and then save it for the bigger item. It is excellent education for the kids!!!
Not only did DD enjoyed it, we enjoyed it very much too, although we were not allowed to go into the actual activity area, can only look thro the glass. It's really fun, and I can't wait for the SG one to open next year!

Actually all are very cool. DD wanted to be a dentist, model, actress, cashier, construction worker, sushi chef, air stewardess...... she couldn't make up her mind... 😉 Cashier was because she gets reminded of it every weekend when we go groceries shopping. She even asked me if she can help the NTUC auntie to scan??? 😆

Maybe when older, will choose another job want to be in.

Bring your kid to the places where these people work. Alternatively, shows him tapes(DVD) on how these people work.
I can't remember what is the youngest age u can get them to sit in & c court case but not every court case is open to public.
Don't know whether there's any changes now. U need to check.

What is the recommended dvd to show occupations? Mostly books show teacher, doctor, policeman... not much on lawyers, bankers, accountants.
