My mom has written some posts for Teen Biz Talk since she’s one of the Forum Advisers. You can can read the Teen Biz Talk blog with the following topics:
Studies have already shown that a high percentage of homeschooled children are academically ready to do college-level work between the ages of 14 and 16, and are actually ahead of their public school counterparts in maturity, socialization, and vocabulary development.
Why have them delay their financial prosperity by going through years of “ground floor” menial job experiences – when their self-reliant homeschooling training and mindset has already prepared them for so much more?
Not that there’s anything wrong in “menial” work – but it too often relates to a “menial” mindset on the part of employers.
Teaching your teens how to communicate effectively in business by positioning themselves and their skills to the strongest advantage can help avoid unfair “labeling” and poor wages on the part of employers.
(And increase teen safety – studies have also shown that a high percent of teen industrial accidents result from teen employees not being taken seriously and given the proper training or equipment by employers. Teach your child the skills to know how to handle and avoid such potentially dangerous situations.)
In addition to “thinking outside the box” and developing ways to push traditional youth business ideas further, some of the areas Teen Biz Talk zones in on developing (based on “strongest needs” testing):
• dependability
• frugality
• communication
• computer skills
• math skills
• self-management
Those six things are all things kids need to learn and know, it’s great that there is something out there to help! My mama agrees with Lesa 100% and jumped at the opportunity to become a Forum Adviser to share our successes as online business owners, and award-winning inventors.
