Foreword
This unique book presents thought-provoking ideas and key points to encourage quick and effective progressive thinking. Why, what, when, where, how, and impact might overlap, but this approach will help to generate ideas that are easy to consider and reference later. The reader will invest several hours and explore many strategies for immediate effective action. The use of this content will help to shape an action plan for teaching kids business; encouraging business conversations; helping children to become more aware and interested in business; creating opportunities for skill development and experience; and instilling confidence and a higher level of respect in children through business techniques and skills.
The goal of every child and parent is to succeed in life. We should recognize that an important element of success is preparation and doing well in business. Interestingly, kids are often not respected enough to be taught business, but many businesses target them as a market segment for the purchase of goods and services, particularly because of the influence they have on their parents’ purchases. Kids influence purchases, so we should better prepare them to make more educated decisions and help them to realize how they influence businesses.
In 2000, author Jeff Brown founded TeachingKidsBusiness.com to develop business programming for kids, parents, and teachers. A need and a market exist for a general business book to help people think about ways to better prepare children for business. Business awareness and training for kids will help them to develop skills to succeed in their daily lives and their futures in business. Basic business education and logical strategies for business preparation are often overlooked in the education and development of children. Jeff wrote The Kids’ Guide to Business, which uses the lemonade stand
business model to explain many steps for planning and operating a business. The book is published in North America, Japan, China, India, and Taiwan. The author regularly receives emails from around the world, and he provides consultation where there is a consistent interest in developing youth in business and addressing concerns for the development and future of children.
The target market for teaching business is broad. Parents will be interested in this book as a resource guide for new thinking to supplement traditional education systems; it is an excellent reference for activities with children. Teachers and community-minded people will find this book to be a helpful tool to help create awareness, discussions, and programming for children to learn about business. With the participation of adults, kids should be able to read this book and understand the concepts and teaching strategies.
If we generate commitment from adults and engage children to create an interest in business, then we can work together to explore business. When kids and adults work together, they can create excellent learning experiences and produce amazing outcomes.
Thank you for your interest and support. Enjoy teaching and learning about business!
