What happens when you stop waiting until your kids are adults to teach them entrepreneurship, leadership, responsibility, and service?
In Episode 159 of High Performance Parenting, Greg Francis sits down with his 15-year-old daughter Crissy to talk about the business and ministry she began at just 13 years old: Redwood Super Kids.
Super Kids serves children ages 2–12 through live online gatherings designed to help kids understand how much God loves them while developing character, confidence, communication skills, friendships, and faith.
But this conversation goes far beyond the business.
Crissy shares what building something of her own has taught her about:
- Starting before you feel ready
- Responsibility and consistency
- Serving others with excellence
- Marketing and customer service
- Communicating with adults and children
- Receiving difficult feedback
- Handling rejection
- Time management
- Fear of failure
- Separating your identity from your results
Greg explains why their family doesn't believe children should wait until adulthood to learn entrepreneurship, leadership, and responsibility.
One of Crissy's biggest discoveries was that using your gifts to serve others isn't necessarily easy, it requires hard work, sacrifice, and choosing what needs to be done even when something else would be more fun.
And perhaps the most important lesson?
Your identity isn't determined by your numbers, your customers, or your results.
If you want to raise children who become doers instead of only dreamers, this conversation will challenge the way you think about preparing kids for adulthood.
