   I used Monopoly to teach my kids that life is tough. If they landed on a property I would tell them the rent that was due and if they paid me (even though I didn’t own it), too bad. As banker, at the start of the game, and during it, if they were due money, I’d often short change them; if they didn’t count it, too bad. They both grew up to be successful businessmen ;-) And their psychiatrists say they are doing well.
