@kimbeasley @teenbizcoach What parents and adults in general need to remember about how to best support their teens is my signature phrase: “Teens don’t want to be helped, they want to be empowered.” They want the same access to information and opportunities as adults and they don’t want it in G Rated format. Be a good listener first and foremost. Let them explore and find their own way. Clip articles, pick up entrepreneurial books and business magazines for them. Leave them on their desks or beds. But don’t tell them they have to read it and furthermore don’t give them a ‘moral’. Let them take in the information on their own time in their own space and take their own lesson from it. Entrepreneurship is a very personal and independent thing. And ironically, the more freedom and independence you give them the more they will value your support.
