The thing that caught my eye this week would have to be the how the role of work plays into the shaping of us into who we are and end up becoming. i also find it interesting in how we decide on what we want to do when it come to our jobs. When the book says that we choose our occupation to best fit our individual traits and occupational interests, does this mean any job we get or just after we choose the job well be in for hopefully the rest of your life?
I think the part about how the grandparents interact and impact the children's life relates really well to my life right now. and i dont mean by myself being a grandparents but watching my parents interact with my niece and nephew. and how important it is to both my parents and the kids to have these interactions and what it can do to help the kids to feel loved and belong. its also amazes me to watch my mom teach the kids about different things and see waht they are learning from her.
Hi Katty,
ReplyDeleteAccording to Super's Theory, by the time you finish college, you would be able to have picked the profession that best fit your personality, and thus stick with that for you life. you would go through the stages of implementation, establishment, maintenance, deceleration and retirement. However, there is space for change of career in Super's theory as he based that on response to changes in our self-concept.
I agree that it's wonderful to have grandparents involved! My mother and mother-in-law have been invaluable to me in support and wisdom with my little boy. I think learning the variety of views is important, as well. Grandparents also socialize kids when they bring them around to see all their friends.
ReplyDeleteMy children are so very lucky to have an extremely loving and involved grandmother. She plays with them and teaches them. I see how having her in their lives impacts them tremendously. Involved grandparents can play a very important role in the lifes of their grandchildren.
