Ka-Ching Business Parenting CourseWhat is Ka-Ching! Business Parenting?Ka-Ching! Business Parenting is a structured yet flexible course that a parent and a child work on together and which aims at improving the child’s future success in the field of business. It involves a series of practical business projects with clear step-by-step guides that the parent and child work through together – as partners! Through this positive interaction, the course produces a bond of love, respect and understanding between the two participants – something often lacking in modern day family relationships. The programme compliments the curriculum and attempts to engender a positive attitude towards education and life-long learning. Who developed ‘Ka-Ching! Business Parenting?Ka-Ching!
