but how are they supposed to make me money if they are "pursuing their interests"? (sorry, couldn't resist)
we don't have a classroom (homeschooling), so there is quite a lot of freedom in their day. This challenge is about affirming that children can produce useful things, too. And I'm hoping that they'll be able to learn this by making a product of some sort and convincing strangers to buy it.

Their interests will develop into careers. Some more profitable than others. Forcing profit seeking behaviors and interests onto a child can rob them a bit of that valuable exploration phase potentially hindering the development of their own interests.

agree, I think the better approach would be to develop hands-on skills from a young age, then learn digital skills when they are ready. Since hands-on skills require way more time and effort to learn compared to digital ones, it also teach kids to be patient and focus, building a good foundation for them to learn anything with the internet later on.
