The danger of free loaning to anybody is that they have not had to strive to earn it, therefore do not have any "allegiance" to it, as it was never theirs. Nice idea if one can afford it.

Kiddiewinkles can be brought up identically, being taught the same respect and values but they can end up as different as chalk and cheese.
