All Sims have the Grow Up Aspiration when they're young, and they all need the same thing: love, time and attention from their family. See to it the other Sims around them make the time to teach these young'uns what they need to learn, and you'll give them a great head start on life.
The Grow Up aspiration is the default aspiration of toddlers and children in The Sims 2. Some wants and fears are specific to toddlers, while others are specific to children. While the aspiration is exclusive to Children and Toddlers, some pre-made grown-ups have hidden Grow Up aspiration tokens, like Julius Caesar.

Aspiration Desperation
- When a toddler's aspiration bar stays deep red for a long time, they will cry, whine, and throw a tantrum. A social worker may come and take them.[confirmation needed]
- When a child's aspiration bar stays high red for a long time, they will smash flowerbeds, dollhouses and urns, kick tombstones and trashcans, and throw tantrums. Some may even start fights with a family member or a visiting Sim.
Tips & Tricks
Using boolProp testingcheatsenabled, adults can be given the Grow Up aspiration, but it does not have any exclusive wants and fears.
Trivia
- When a child grows up into a teen, it is possible to quickly age them up into an adult as the age meter stays full for about a second. Doing so will result in the adult retaining the Grow Up aspiration. The aspiration meter ranks are the same as the ones for the Romance aspiration.[confirmation needed]

- ↑ While children can be read to, the want to be read to is apparently specific to toddlers.
