Nearly two-thirds of today’s teens want to become entrepreneurs according to a 2022 survey. But how do parents raise their children so they have the right traits to succeed? Many parents resist letting their children figure out their own path for fear that they won’t succeed. However, only doing what their parents think will make them successful will result in young people becoming dispirited and unhappy. The So-What: Parenting expert Margot Machol Bisnow interviewed 70 entrepreneurs and their parents to learn what’s needed to incubate an entrepreneur successfully. A recurring theme was letting their children take the lead in their own life and then providing steadfast support. Parents need to lead by following, regardless of where their child wants to go. Children who are allowed to figure out their own passion, and then are encouraged in that passion, live lives filled with joy and purpose. Margot Machol Bisnow spent 20 years in government, including as an FTC Commissioner and staff director of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers. For the last 10 years, she has spoken to parent groups about raising creative, confident, resilient children who achieve their dreams. She served as an Advisor to EQ Generation, an after-school program in New York City that gives children the skills to succeed; on the Advisory Board of the MUSE School in Malibu, that prepares young people to live consciously through passion-based learning; and on the Board of Spark the Journey in Washington DC, that mentors low-income high school students to achieve college and career success. Her new book is Raising an Entrepreneur: How to Help Your Children Achieve Their Dreams – 99 Stories from Families Who Did. Learn more at raisinganentrepreneur.com. Why is it important to let children choose their passion and work really hard at it? And why should parents support that passion, regardless of what it is? Why is it important to let children compete if you want a child with grit? What should you teach children about losing if you want a child who isn’t afraid to take risks? And why is that important? Why is it important to encourage children to be curious and think of new ways to solve problems? Why does raising kind, compassionate children enable them to find solutions the world needs? And how does that make them more successful? Are grades and test-taking ability key to entrepreneurial success? If not, why not?

110: How to Empower Your Teen to Thrive with ADHD
Dana Kay is a Board-Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Practitioner, specializing in the natural treatment of ADHD. She is a two times international bestselling author and CEO / founder of ADHD Thrive Institute and The ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids program. As a mother of a child with ADHD, she knows firsthand the struggles that come with parenting a neurodiverse child. When her son was struggling with his ADHD symptoms, she tried everything she could think of to help him - medication, various therapies, counseling, essential oils, supplements, parenting techniques - but nothing moved the needle. For years, she felt trapped in her own home. That all changed when she learned how to reduce the inflammation in her son’s body, which in turn reduced his ADHD symptoms completely. Dana knows the freedom that is possible once parents learn to reduce ADHD symptoms. Using food and targeted supplementation, she was able to reduce her son’s ADHD symptoms so much so that he no longer needed any medication. Since then, she has worked with close to one thousand other families, helping them find the same freedom she found. Dana has been featured in Forbes and on Fox and CBS, and various other online media. She has also been a guest at multiple parenting and ADHD summits and podcasts. Her mission is to help families reduce ADHD symptoms naturally so that children with ADHD can thrive at home, at school, and in life. Can you tell us a little bit about why you began working in the holistic health and nutrition industry? What were some of the challenges you were facing with your son with ADHD? What ADHD interventions did you try, and how did they each go? You have mentioned that there was one huge turning point in your journey with your son. Can you share that with us? (referring to when the doctor requested that 4th medication) What happened next…once you realized that medication was not the right path for your family? What happened in your family once you changed your diet? Did you notice any changes in your son?

109: Preparing to Launch Your Teenager into Adulthood
Dr. Stoltzfus’ mission is to provide information, education, guidance, and resources to parents of young adults struggling to launch their young adults into self-sufficient and responsible adulthood while maintaining a caring bond with them. More today than ever, parents of young adults are trying to determine the best approach to aiding their young adults in their challenges of identity, independence, and intimacy without contributing to their dependency or alienation. Over fifty percent of 18-29-year-olds live with one or both parents; some of these kids are stuck and not moving toward independence. Another group of young people has left home, but 1 out of 4 have cut off communication with their parents for, on average, four months; some will never reconnect. Both of these situations represent failures to launch. When there is a failure to launch, parents and young adults suffer. How can parents navigate the letting go process of the teenage years in order to prepare the teen for greater independence and responsible adulthood? Moving from control and direction to influence, coaching, collaborating, and consulting. Moving closer not to control but to support the key developmental tasks of adolescence- identity, independence, and intimacy. The importance of demonstrating backbone with love or “tough love.” What can parents do to successfully let go and launch their young adult? When is it time for young adults to leave home? The six practices that are important to set up a successful launch into adulthood. Balancing support and letting go with setting limits and saying no. What are basic truths about parents and their adult children?
