Many of the rockstar teen entrepreneurs I know had parents who were entrepreneurs and typically the entire family were participating in some aspect of the family business(es) from a young age. Immersion is the best form of learning.
Your kid should be helping you at your job. It doesn't matter if it's gonna be their life passion, they will learn INCREDIBLE lessons. Homeschool kids who are doing this have a HUGE advantageβ₯οΈ
Little known factβ‘οΈ If your kids work for your business you can pay them 12K/yr You can start retirement accounts or invest in index for them BONUS - you reduce your tax burden
Mine are helping me with my curriculum. Also, if you donβt know this, you can pay your kids $12k a year tax free that you can save for them every year. I wish I had the money to do it, but for anyone out there who does, itβs a way to help them start a business at 18 or beβ¦

I focused on anxiety/depression in Anglo countries. But @sapien_labs cast a broader net and finds much more extensive psychiatric harm linked to phone-based childhoods, globally. Earlier phone = lower mental health as young adult tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10β¦
I second that emotion! Tutor here - Have worked w/ 3 students ages 11 - 16 , this summer on basic math. Not even pre-algebra. Your child has to know sums up to 25, (12 + 13 =25,) by the end of 2nd grade. Times tables by 4th grade. And, pls learn to measure - a table, a bookcase.
If your kid doesn't know their math facts COLD, they can't do upper division math Learning math facts ages 10+ is possible but kids' brains are more receptive when less than 8 (yes, really) I know you don't want to... but your kid NEEDS you to help them learn math factsβ₯οΈ

The most successful homeschool families I've interviewed had daily, deep discussion with their kids - about books, movies, ideas, philosophy, faith... Conversation IS the curriculumβ₯οΈ
