As the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined

In order to improve the financial knowledge of children and teenagers, and excite their interest in the financial sector, some new projects were launched. Instead of buying a totally useless gift, you might offer the young investor a single share of a company that is related with his/her daily environment, for example Disney or Starbucks. Furthermore, three other ideas were developed: offering the youth a few sessions with a financial planner, giving them an online finance class or open a retirement account. A similar original gift will definitely teach them practical and lasting skills. (Forbes)
