Clever Tykes is on a mission to inspire a generation of children to be more enterprising and we need your help. Clever Tykes is on the hunt for the UK’s most enterprising children. We’re keen to hear from those parents who best inspire their children to be more enterprising to help us share best practice.
Do you have a child who is always coming up with ideas for a venture? Perhaps they have unusual career ambitions or have already started their own business. Are you doing anything that inspires enterprising behaviour or encourages them to think differently about the world of work? All we need you to do is fill out this form and we’ll showcase the best examples to give other parents ideas about raising entrepreneurial children.
Clever Tykes’ goal is to promote positivity, resourcefulness and creativity. Strong submissions will demonstrate how children show these characteristics and/or how parents promote them.
We’re looking for parents with children between 5 and 12 years old.

I am a huge advocate of the entrepreneurial messages and characteristics that you are driving. I think it is a fantastic idea to instil the idea of entrepreneurship into children from a young age. This is a great way to open children up to the idea of not always following conventional paths and giving them the belief and confidence to pursue their own creative business ideas.
The Clever Tykes series are such a wonderful way to introduce ‘enterprise’ to children from a young age – I can’t recommend them highly enough, and strongly urge parents to read along with their child as there is no doubt the stories will stimulate lots of questions and interest!
I found Walk-it Willow easy to read and full of lovely messages that children can take from it. It touched on taking responsibility, problem solving, admitting mistakes and also the work it takes to run a small business. Willow is entertaining but very human. A lovely story.
