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.

An Indian American youngster in New Jersey is doing his part to raise awareness of the harmful effects of poor battery disposal by launching a nonprofit, Recycle My Battery.
Eleven-year-old Sri Nihal Tammanaâs nonprofit sets up certified battery bins free of cost including free two-way priority shipping to any public or private organizations including schools, libraries, private companies, according to the organizationâs website.
Recycle My Batteryâs goal is to reach out and advise people to refrain from the habit of throwing the used batteries in the trash.
In all establishments where Recycle My Battery has placed its bins, not a single used battery is seen in normal dustbins nor anywhere in their vicinity, other than in battery bins installed for the purpose, according to reports.
