Summary

Kids need healthy struggles to succeed. Every parent loves their kids. They want to protect them from pain and give them all the opportunities and comforts they never had growing up. But by removing certain struggles, parents may unknowingly jeopardize their children's future. What if you could give your kids a superpower to ensure their success outside the home? A lens to see the world in such a way that everything they encounter can be turned into something valuable for themselves and others. A true antidote that protects your kids against becoming victims, spoiled, anxious, fearful, lazy, or entitled. Value Creation Kid is a proven roadmap to give your children the capabilities and confidence to succeed. Get ready to discover: the recipe to create a fun, value-creation learning environment at home; how to turn healthy struggle into capability, confidence and value creation; how to shut down the Bank of Mom and Dad for good; how to set expectations, expenses and extra pay at home, with over 55 Home Gigs for kids to start earning money beyond their expected roles in the home; practical financial literacy skills so your kids can learn how to save, spend, share, earn, invest, and protect themselves online; the principles behind the viral GravyStack banking app for kids and teens to grow their personal responsibility and grit.
