As we approach the holidays, our little (and big) ones want to get in the act too.  They have friends they would like to give presents to.  This simple guide from USA Weekend helps parents think through the best way to teach kids about responsible giving.  Hint:  There is a theme.

And you guessed it.  The theme is setting limits.  The idea emerges several times in this short article.  I guess that means we have to set the example, huh?  Yep, if we’re lucky, they’ll look to us for guidance well into their adult years, so I guess we better get prepared.
