5 Ways To Build Entrepreneurial AI Skills As A Family

Most of us have no idea what our children will need ten years from now. But we do know that AI isn’t going away. So why not learn it together? You don’t need to be a tech genius. You just need a little curiosity and a willingness to try

 
These approaches will help your family learn entrepreneurial skills with artificial intelligence while spending quality time together.
 
1. Create A Family Coat Of Arms

Talk about what your family stands for. Courage? Innovation? Curiosity? Come up with a few words or symbols that represent who you are. Then open up ChatGPT. Type in a prompt like "a family crest with a lion, a book, and a lightning bolt" and see what it gives you.

You’ll laugh. You’ll argue over colors. You’ll explain why symbols matter without realizing it. It’s not just an image. It’s a conversation. A way to explore values, identity and shared purpose.

Print the coat of arms. Stick it on the fridge or make it the lock screen on your family iPad. Talk about what each symbol means. Let your children update it when they want to. It’s a living portrait of what your family cares about.

 
2. Write A Family Book

Let them invent a weird character. Use Google Gemini to help build a story. Ask it to write a paragraph, then change it together. It doesn’t need to be good. It just needs to be yours.

Ask them what happens next. Ask what the character is afraid of. Let them draw the world or act it out. Turn it into a comic. Turn it into a puppet show. Let them perform it on a Friday night for your family. It doesn’t have to be polished. It has to be fun.

This teaches structure. It shows them what it means to create something from nothing. It gets them thinking about cause and effect, about pacing, about how stories work.

Use free tools to print a copy. Or just share it with a grandparent. Put it on the fridge. Celebrate the moment.

 
3. Set Up A Family Store

Ask your child what they’d like to make. A planner? A coloring book? AI can help you put it together. Canva makes it easy. Create a family Etsy store and sell it. Doesn’t matter if no one buys it at first. What matters is that they see it’s possible.

Use ChatGPT to help write a product description. Ask your child to describe why someone would want it. Let them pick the colors. Let them decide the name. These are small decisions that build confidence.

If someone buys it, celebrate. If no one does, talk about why. Talk about what they’d change next time. That’s entrepreneurship. Not just the wins. The tweaks too.

 
4. Make A Family Newsletter

Start with a shared Google Doc. Let each person take a section. One child does a joke, one writes a story, maybe you do an interview with grandma. Use ChatGPT to punch up the writing. Use Canva to make it look nice.

Send it out every month. Or just once. No pressure. Make it a habit or a one-time thing. It doesn’t matter.

Add AI-generated art using ChatGPT’s new image capabilities. Type in silly prompts. Let your kids direct the vision. Ask them what kind of image they want to match their story. Let them design the layout. These are real-world skills.

It shows kids that content doesn’t just come from somewhere else. They can make it. They can remix it. They can send it to the people they love. That’s powerful.

 
5. Family AI Charter

Sit at the table. Ask your kids what they think is fair when it comes to AI. Should we use it for homework? Is it okay to fake a photo? What should we never do?

Write down your answers together. Call it your family’s AI charter. Print it. Revisit it. Add to it over time.

Let your kids lead part of the conversation. Ask them what they see at school or online. Ask what makes them feel weird or unsure about AI. This isn’t about scaring them. It’s about helping them shape their own compass.

Talk about consent. About honesty. About what it means to be real. These aren’t just tech lessons. They’re life lessons.

 
Doing It Together

Trying this stuff has made me feel awkward and uncertain plenty of times. I’ve typed prompts that made no sense. I’ve tried to explain AI to my kids and ended up confusing myself. But that’s okay. We’re not aiming for perfect. We’re just learning together.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind on AI, you’re not alone. That feeling is real. But every time we try something new with our kids, we show them it’s okay to be a beginner. That’s the part they remember.
