" At the party for my 10-year-old son, many of his friends came with $10 stuffed in cards. I know parents are busy, but kids giving one another cash seems funny to me. Cash gifts have become widely accepted, although it is a bit unusual for preteens to give money. After all, one of the fun parts of childhood -- and adulthood, too! -- is tearing wrapping paper off a present to find the surprise within. But the bottom line here is the friends&amp;#039; parents weren&amp;#039;t wrong, even if money isn&amp;#039;t the norm for kids&amp;#039; birthday gifts. Help your son keep the cash in a safe place, and find out what he&amp;#039;d like to do with it -- whether it&amp;#039;s using his funds to buy something really special or depositing the bills in the bank. Believe it or not, some kids do prefer to save. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
