Young entrepreneurs need to be nurtured and supported to transform their creativity into viable careers or business ideas.
Parents should allow kids to try out new hobbies and activities, determine what excites them, and explore what they re curious about.
A kid entrepreneur will likely need help and resources once they find what they re passionate about, so offer books, your professional network, and sage advice if they ask.
Foster their resilience and self-confidence by letting them fail, learn from their mistakes, and improve.
Young people have always been a force to be reckoned with when it comes to social entrepreneurship.
