I have really young kids and I've been integrating them into aspects of my home business. I'm a professional organizer and I deal with donations regularly. My kids come with me on donation runs, visits to the storage unit for supplies, and other distribution drop offs. I talk regularly about my work at home so the kids are familiar with what I do when they are in care. This may not be the answer you were looking for but I think the earlier we expose our children to our work lives, the more informed they will be about "how the world works".
Long term, I cannot say if my business is a traditional "family" business... but the ethos of my business is about community care, which is a family value I'm espousing to my kids. There will be other opportunities to involve them as they get older and/if they show interest in the business and the work.
