Teach Your Children Well
If you want to give your children a wonderful holiday gift this year, make a plan to teach them about personal finance - it will be a gift that they will appreciate for the rest of their lives. If not, they will likely end up like most kids these days that have to try and figure out personal finance on their own.
I agree that teaching children about finance is an important part of responsible parenting. Check out this article I wrote about the topic, specifically pertaining to teaching children how to earn things instead of how to repay them.
