Science, engineering, and teaching are the top career choices that parents believe are inspired – by childhood playtime, a study has found.
Nearly three in ten mums and dads (28%), with children aged two to eight, believe how they play in their early years can be an indicator of their future career path.
Other careers inspired by imaginative play at a young age include artistry, performing arts, or becoming a dancer or musician – as well as working in technology or in architecture.
