Getting Your Kids Involved In Your Business Is A Way To Bond
This is a partnered post.
Your kids are the most important thing in the world to you. A lot of people judge hardworking parents as sometimes it means that they are away from their kids for a long time, or they just don’t have as much time as others to spend with them. However, what they forget is that you are doing all of this for them, so that you can give them a better life. In this article, we’re going to be talking about how you can get your kids involved in your business as a way to bond and spend time with them. If you would like to find out more about this article, keep reading down below.
Small Jobs
First, you can give them small jobs to do. Ask them to do something, even if you could have done it yourself without much hassle. Make them feel as though they are doing something useful, and they are going to love it. Kids love to be helpful in any way that they can, so you want to be giving them jobs that might seem important, but aren’t really. An example of this would be if you ask them to file something in the filing cabinet in the correct place. This is actually a super important job as the next person to use the file will have to go searching if it’s not in the right place.
Make sure that you are only giving them small jobs though. Even if they ask to do more, tell them that they are too little but one day they will be able to help.
Ask For Their Opinion
Again, if you want to make them feel involved then you should ask for their opinion on certain things. It’s not as though you have to go with what they say, but it’s a nice thing to do to make them feel as though they have some say as to what is going on. For example, if you are thinking of purchasing some more equipment and you have found a benchtop planer for sale, but you’re not sure if you can justify the cost, talk to your child about it. Tell them the facts and see what they come up with. You never know, sometimes kids come out with insightful things!
Talk To Them
The final thing that we are going to recommend is that you talk to them. Talk to them about what you do, talk to them about what is going on in your business at the moment, talk to them about what you want the business to grow into, and talk to them about how they feel about the business. All your kids want is to spend time with you, and they may be really interested in the business if you give them a chance to be.
