Experiences or Things: Which Makes More of a Difference in Your Child's Life?

Consider giving your children experiences instead of things, they last a whole lot longer. A friend is providing his teenage son with one such experience this Friday that is connected to an experience his father gave him over 30 years ago. Chip is taking his son, Zack, to the last space shuttle launch on Friday. His father took him to the first launch of the shuttle. Cost: gas to get there, Sharing a Memory: priceless.

Providing your children with experiences instead of things may not be popular with them now but the lasting impression will stick with them long past the usefulness of the latest gadget that they are longing for.
