Just remember that even "perfect parents" that raise "perfect kids" can not guarantee their children will become "perfect adults".
But you can try. One of the things we tried to teach all our kids (we have 5 full grown kids with families of their own now) is to be responsible for everything they do. When they were kids if they wanted money for something they had to earn it. It was not just given to them. Not even their allowance. If they didn't do their chores they didn't get it that week. End of discussion! They were also taught that in order to get their allowance they had to keep their grades up and be respectful of others no matter what the situation. And when they did get their allowance they were allowed to spend half of it on anything they wanted, the other half had to be saved and could only be spent on something if they had our permission.
Our kids were also taught that we sometimes had to say "no"! We refused to go into major debt just so one of the kids could have the best bike, or stereo or the newest gadget on the market. This is not to say they were in any way deprived. They got gifts, and some times it was the bestest, newest, coolest thing that no one else had. But they learned at a very young age that we gave it to them because we were both financially able to do so and/or because we felt they deserved to have it.
Another thing my kids grew up to understand was that when each one of them turned 16 they had to get a part time job and open a savings account. And the "save half your money" rule was still enacted. They also knew that as soon as they were out of school (whether that be high school or college) if they still lived at home they had to pay board. And they had to get a full time job. They had to pay for their own clothes, cars, insurance and gas. And if they drove our cars they had to pay for all the gas they used.
I know it sounds like everything we taught our kids was about money, but it really wasn't. We insisted on them having good manners and to care for the feelings of others also. We also expected respect from our kids, too. And respect for everyone else, as well as their opinions, even if they didn't always agree with them. This included respect for our financial situation, which was not always the greatest.
The bottom line is our kids (now that they are all grown) are pretty good, responsible adults that know how to save money but still have the things they want, are respectful of others and their opinions and care about what others think of them. We're very proud of all our kids and often tell them so.
