I would definitely teach 3yr & 1yr a lot of Mathematics & Finance. Flashcard and iPhone apps definitely helped.

IT skills become more of a necessity once they hit school. I see Programming as a form of art, unless you are interested in it. It's not going to be of any interest to them, like it is to me.

Finance? I'm extremely skeptical, but my time on HN has taught me to be curious instead. Expand?

I would think that giving my some basic finance knowledge would be beneficial to them in the future.

- like saving up for a rainy day.

- saving a small amount like $1 a day = $365 saved a year.

- how compound interests work.

Having started young, they will be money wise when they grow up and not having to work for every pay check.
