Abstract: This paper points to some qualitative differences in the developing child and the research which has indicated that entrepreneurial behaviour is socially acquired. It will be argued that the importance of parental and family influences on shaping children’s behaviour and thinking processes is crucial, given certain conditions including parental attitudes, support, control and reinforcement. Additionally, it will be evident that the success of such influences depends very much on the child as an individual, and the degree to which parenting practices match developmental levels.
