Instead of taking classic kid gigs like babysitting and raking leaves, Downing believes kids should "learn how to think about working and building wealth in a profoundly different way." He suggests there are plenty of ways for kids to earn money that demonstrate the principles of entrepreneurship. Here are 8 entrepreneurial job ideas for kids: - By Carolyn Castiglia

      Facilitating Birthday Parties
      Putting together a great party is a lot of work for busy parents, between buying supplies, sending out invites, and managing activities during the party itself.

To get the business rolling, she might call neighbors and family friends who have small children and explain her services to them.
