5 High-Dividend Stocks That Could Make Your Kids Rich

Helping your kids learn about investing will put them on firmer financial footing later in life. But it can be a challenge to get them interested in the first place. One way to do so is to invest in companies with big dividends, as your kids are more likely to develop an interest in investing if they see that owning stocks can provide them with "free" money. With that in mind, we asked our team of Motley Fool contributors to share a stock that offers a high dividend yield that could one day make our readers' kids rich. Read below to see what stocks they think can help get the conversations rolling.

Many long-term investors pay little attention to value stocks, figuring their higher-growth counterparts are better plays to match their time horizons. Yet automaker General Motors (NYSE:GM) has some classic characteristics of a solid value stock and a 4% dividend yield to boot. One company I like in the space is STAG Industrial (NYSE:STAG), a fast-growing small cap with a unique business model that's yielding 7%, distributed monthly. One great high-dividend stock for the long haul is Welltower (NYSE:HCN), formerly known as Health Care REIT. One strong long-term performer that could make your kids rich is PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP).As I look around today and see kids of all ages enamored with technology, I see no better investment opportunity than telecom and content giant AT&T (NYSE:T).
