Upheaval Media, LLC publishes Me and My Big Career, a toy and hobby guide to careers

Dec. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Albert Einstein’s maxim, "Love is a better teacher than duty,” Children love playing with their toys. Toys and hobbies are excellent vehicles to explore careers as children would rather “learn by doing” rather than listen to lectures..  “Play and imitation are natural learning strategies at which children are experts. Having children play games to learn is simply asking them to do what comes naturally, “Play provides children with multiple forms of engagement, niches for their unique capabilities and the ability to explore and experiment on their own terms.” “Play can be used to turn a mundane task into fun, “  states Edward, Davis, in Lessons for Tomorrow Bringing America’s Schools Back from the Brink, Orgone Press 2006.

Often students imitate common careers such as  doctors, lawyer, teachers and policeman. Expose them to untraditional careers that are in high demand, such as scientists, computer programmers, fish and game wardens, film editors, accountants or archaeologists. Lead them into a deeper career exploration experience by choosing specific toys and hobbies for unorthodox careers. They will spend hours or even years imitating their perception of those careers. A train enthuiasist may become a train engineer. A sewing specialist may become a fashion designer. A cook or kitchen mathematician may become a chef. A mixer of colors and chemicals may become a scientist. A lego builder may decide to pursue civil or structural engineering. A video camera my lead them to become a film editor or producer. Your simple career exposure may excite the burning passion in your children to complete their homework and maintain  the good grades that are necessary to matriculate to college and a profitable career.  Me and My Big Career is a toy and hobby guide for children birth to 9 years old. It exposes them to 16 careers many parents would never consider as play or imitation options. Expand your children’s horizon.  Consider Me and My Big Career as a gift option.
