My eldest daughter is 9 years old and loves playing with her hair. She has started saying that she wants to be a hairdresser when she grows up. She is a bright girl and I aim to give her the best start in life possible. I would love her to become a doctor. When she says she wants to be a hairdresser I try to put her off the idea by suggesting that being a doctor would be much more fun. My husband thinks that I shouldn't be pushing our daughter at such a young age. Am I wrong to think that it is better to guide our children as early as possible in order to give them the best chances in life?
