“Declaration of Awesome”“Everybody can be boring, but you’re gooder than that”

What is a Kidpreneur?

• 1. Self-confidence- When you give your kids the space to learn and make decisions, it increases their confidence in themselves and in their own decision-making.

• Durability- Allow your kids to fail. That’s probably one of the hardest things to do as a parent, but they need to know it’s okay to fail at something even if they tried hard.

• Creativity- Help to coach them into being creative about ideas. Write lists of solutions together. Map out potential answers together. Make time to create with your child.
