Your kids’ favorite book is illustrated children’s book. My kids’ favorite is the three levels of self-awareness.
It’s hard to tell what level of self-awareness your kids have when you just don’t pay attention to what they’re saying. For example, when I was a kid I would sometimes make up stories that were just about my own personal adventures. I would imagine that I had a lot of adventures and it was no big deal for me to make up stories about my life to my friends.
I know I’ve said that I like being a parent, but I’ve also said that my kids want to be a parent. In fact, one of my favorite things about being a parent is that, “What are you going to do with your life?” is so often the first thing a parent asks a kid.
I love that because it’s so rarely the case. Kids never get asked what they want to be when they grow up and they never get asked what they want to be when they’re teenagers. Not that I’m complaining, I love being a parent too, but I still get a lot of questions about what it would be like to be a parent. I think that’s a huge part of why I love being a parent.
The first thing we’re asked is what we’d like to be when we grow up, and then a few years later, the question is, what are you going to do with your life? And the answer is, you’d better find out.
I think it comes down to two things: one, if someone asked you what you wanted to be when you were 9, you would probably say some combination of “I don’t know” and “I don’t know what”. That’s okay. The other thing is a little more interesting.
I think that what my son loves most about being a parent is going to the doctor. He is a doctor. So at my family doctor appointment I told him I wanted to be a doctor in my future. I want to take my son to the doctor.
This is probably the most important thing you can learn to do when you’re a parent. My son is 7 and I’m 7; so he is a doctor. But the thing that really makes it all the better is that there is no doubt that he wants to be a doctor. He will even be able to take my son and take him to the doctor. I think what he wants to do is to be a doctor to his son.
It’s a little like when I was a kid and I was told that I would be a doctor. I had a lot of questions and I knew that I wanted to be a doctor. But we wanted to go out to eat, and we wanted to go to the doctor. So what did we do? We went to the doctor. I was not impressed.
That’s the thing. By the time you realize that you already want to be a doctor, even if you’ve been a nurse or a secretary or a waitress, you’re already pretty much on autopilot. You’re so busy being all these different things that you’re not even aware that you want to be something else. In fact, you’re too busy doing everything.
