A B C D Entrepreneurship – the importance of teaching entrepreneurship to children

As the parent of a 7 year old, it is my duty to ensure that my son has the best opportunity to become a well rounded, participating member of society. To do this, I find myself investing in his education early on. If someone would have told me that I would be spending what could amount to someone’s college tuition on educating a child in primary school, I would have laughed at the thought. This however, is my reality. I am sure I am not alone. There are many parents who also want their children to have the best chance at success and are also investing in their education, starting as early as kindergarten. It’s important to remember that learning opportunities don’t end when the school bell rings at the end of the day. In addition to the usual academic requirements of reading, writing, and arithmetic parents can also instill entrepreneurial values as part of their child’s ‘informal’ education.

I will explore the importance of introducing the concept of entrepreneurship to your children at an early age and how it can impact them in a positive manner and better prepare them to successfully negotiate the world.
