Are you underestimating what your children are capable of achieving right now? In this episode of the Homeschool Your Kids podcast, we sit down with Leah, the founder of the Society of Child Entrepreneurs, to discuss why kids don't need to wait until they are adults to start businesses and lead their communities. Learn how to stop saying no and start asking how to help your child’s ideas come to life.

Leah shares her incredible journey from running an in-home daycare to supporting her four-year-old daughter’s first business during the 2020 lockdowns. We dive deep into the philosophy that children are not just the future, but are capable, aware leaders today. Leah explains the vital difference between child labor and child entrepreneurship, emphasizing that when kids own their successes and failures, they develop essential life skills like financial literacy, persuasive writing, and conflict resolution.

From testifying at the State House for lemonade stand laws to advocating for city crosswalks, this episode is packed with inspiration for parents who want to empower their children. We also discuss Leah’s 36-week entrepreneurship curriculum and how to tailor education to meet the unique needs of every child, including those with ADHD and autism. Whether your child wants to sell lemonade or launch a service-based business, this conversation provides a roadmap for nurturing the next generation of critical thinkers.
