My son Laksh created a game about snakes and ladders but with good habits and bad habits. In the game, doing a good habit like brushing your teeth twice a day will make you climb up the ladder and doing a bad habit like watching too much mobile will make you slide down the snake.
This is a fantastic example of why we, as parents, should encourage our children to explore their entrepreneurial ideas. Laksh’s game is a fun and engaging way to teach kids about good and bad habits, all while fostering his own business sense.
As I mentioned before, letting your kids explore their entrepreneurial ideas can be a great way to teach them valuable life skills. Here are some of the benefits:
- Develops responsibility and work ethic: Starting a business, even a small one like Laksh’s game, takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Your child will learn the importance of following through on commitments and taking responsibility for their actions.
- Teaches problem-solving skills: Entrepreneurs are constantly faced with challenges, like how to design a game, find sponsors, or market their product. Your child will learn how to identify problems, brainstorm solutions, and think creatively.
- Boosts self-confidence: There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of seeing your own idea come to life. If your child’s business is successful, it will give them a real sense of accomplishment and boost their self-confidence.
- Teaches financial literacy: Even a small business like Laksh’s teaches kids about basic economics, like pricing a product and managing inventory.
Encouraging your child’s entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t mean you have to bankroll their entire business. But you can offer support in other ways, such as helping them brainstorm ideas, write a business plan, or create a marketing strategy.
Of course, it’s important to set some ground rules. For example, you may want to limit the amount of money you’re willing to invest in their business, or set some expectations about how much time they can devote to it.
But overall, I believe that encouraging your child to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams is a great way to set them up for success in life. And Laksh’s game is a perfect example! He’s not only learning valuable skills himself, but he’s also creating a product that can help other kids learn about good habits.
If you’re interested in sponsoring Laksh’s game and helping him get it into schools, you can find more information in the video. This is a great opportunity to support a young entrepreneur and promote healthy habits in children.
