I have been raving about Twitter lately because of the wonderful connections and valuable information I have been able to access through my Twitter friends. Well this is no exception. I ran across a site that actually teaches children financial responsibility - imagine that!

10 Tips for talking with kids about tough issues
Introduction
Raising a child is probably the most gratifying job any of us will ever have -- and one of the toughest. In large part, that's because times have changed. We live in an increasingly complex world that challenges us everyday with a wide range of disturbing issues that are difficult for children to understand and for adults to explain.
We believe this booklet can help. It offers practical, concrete tips and techniques for talking easily and openly with young children ages 8 to 12 about some very tough issues: sex, HIV/AIDS, violence, drugs and alcohol.
Some parents and caregivers may question the appropriateness of talking about such sensitive topics with young children. Maybe you're one of them. But consider this: our kids are already hearing about these issues from TV, movies, magazines and school friends. If we don't talk with them early and often -- and answer their questions -- they'll get their facts from someone else. And we'll have missed an important opportunity to offer our children information that's not only accurate, but also in sync with our own personal values and moral principles.
Make sense? We think so. So let's get started.
You will not believe what I found - it is really a great little .pdf on protection your children when they go to the new web 2.0 sites and it is free!
