01Advertising became a shared family interest

This collection brings together teenagers' and parents' accounts of Power ON. Each family has its own experience: one participant's plans do not apply to everyone else.

The first teenager says much of the entrepreneurship material was new to him. After hearing about different areas, he became interested in contextual advertising and planned to explore it with his father.

He also began talking more with his mother about work. Her account mentions new shared topics: websites, advertising inquiries, offers for clients and developing the company.

She says her son came home inspired and had decided what he wanted to try. Her impressions describe changes in one particular family at the time of recording.

02One participant already had a project before the training

Another participant arrived with an idea he was already working on: making and selling small glass and plastic pyramids that display an image from a phone or tablet.

He does not claim to have invented and launched the project during the training. He says his mother suggested training that might help with further promotion.

Exercises on beliefs and fears stood out for him. He also says he began learning Google advertising to help his mother with her project.

03Parents began listening more closely to their children's ideas

In one family, a teenager noticed that his mother treated him as more grown-up and listened to his point of view more often.

His mother, in turn, describes greater closeness and more conversations on equal terms. They found topics that interested them both: advertising, audiences and how projects work.

She also recalls her son speaking publicly after the sessions. He had not previously been used to appearing before an audience. In her assessment, it was a noticeable step.

The collection conveys several families' impressions. It does not confirm identical outcomes for all teenagers or allow every business idea mentioned to be treated as an already completed project.
