2、tionwhat do you want to be when you grow up? has ever caused you anyanxiety.any anxiety at all.im someone whos never been able to answer the question what do you want to be when yougrow up?see, the problem wasnt that i didnt have any interests - its that i had too many. in high school,i liked englis

6、g, and then iwould hit this point again where id start to get bored. and eventually, i would letit go. but then iwould discover something new and totally different, and i would dive into that.this pattern caused me a lot of anxiety, for two reasons. the first was that i wasnt sure how iwas going to

12、 inspires kids to dream about what they could be, it does not inspirethem to dream about all that they could be. in fact, it does justthe opposite, because whensomeone asks you what you want to be, you cant reply with 20 different things, though well-meaning adults will likely chuckle and be like, o
13、h,how cute, but you cant be a violin maker anda psychologist. you have to choose.this is dr. bob childs -and hes a luthier and psychotherapist. and this is amy ng, a magazine editor turnedillustrator,entrepreneur, teacher and creative director. but most kids dont hear about people like this. allthey
