Summer allows opportunities for young entrepreneurs to make money.
Walking a dog for a neighbor may be a free will offering, or a regular job. Encourage your child to design a computer print-out describing his or her skill and how much you charge for the service. Add graphics for interest, and then let the cash flow in. Your children will learn the value of hard work and they can do some long-range planning on how to save for some special goal, for example a computer game, or a donation to a worthwhile charity. A list below out-lines other possibilities for raising money.
