Your child designs a real business from scratch. They pick an idea, figure out who would actually pay for it, set prices that make money, build a brand, create a marketing plan, and pitch the whole thing out loud. Whether they actually launch or just walk through every step, the thinking is identical to what real entrepreneurs do.
