Parent's should teach their children that they and the children are intrinsically and integrally one with all others and with the rest of the Kosmos.
Parents should teach their children how to become aware of the latter's feelings, beliefs, assumptions and ideas for at least half an hour at a time, at least once a day.
Parents should teach their children how to delete the beliefs and assumptions they discover to be false, and the ideas they discover to be unworthy of them.
Parents should teach their children to trust their intuitions and insights, so they have ever better access to their potential for the Kosmos' creativity and intelligence.

I think parents should teach their children to love and respect others. Then they will also learn to be humble, helpful, kind and honest. They should also be taught personal hygiene and good manners. Filial piety is a plus also. And the best teachers? Their parents! Children watch what adults do, especially their parents. So if you beat them up too often, they will beat their kids when they grow up. But if you reason with them when they don't behave, they learn to be patient with their kids and explain to them what they have done wrong. Also, parents should not compare their children to other children. To sum it all, I'd say love, respect, understanding and kindness.

Before they are taught the good things that Rach gave as an answer they need to be taught about Jesus and having a personal relationship with God. All of the things that she mentioned come right from the Bible. But if a person doesn't have a reverence for God and count what the Bible says as more important than what they might hear their friends say, then they are going to be on shaky ground when it comes to making the right choices when their parents are not around.
Matthew 7:24 "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock: 25 and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and fell against that house; and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them, will be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And its fall was great."

Please teach your children to say "thank you" and respect their elders. I taught elementary kids and middle school kids and it is amazing how they demand and order things. I spend more time correcting behavior and modeling behavior than I do teaching the lesson. Also teach your kids that it is rude to stare. I have told many children that it is not polite and they tell me that they have never been told that before. Kids should also be taught to share and be respectful to their peers. Believe me, in public schools today, there are a lot of disrespectful kids that scare off the good teachers.

First of all, children need love and acceptance. Without that, no amount of teaching or discipline will fulfill their basic need for love--and it will help them more than anything throughout their lives.
Second, children need to be told the truth about life. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the tooth fairy...these things amount to lies that eventually have to be untold. I've never considered the momentary fun to be worth the trade in credibility to my kids. (They still get presents and look for Easter eggs and get a dollar for a tooth!)
This leads directly to the third: children need parents who understand life as much as possible. They are the primary teachers. The more inaccurate things you teach your child about life, the less happy the child will be as he grows up and has to examine his own views about life. (This means teenage rebellion.)
And, of course, children need the other basic needs of life: nutritious food, freedom to explore, play, boundaries, and a warm place to sleep and feel safe. When you set boundaries, make sure that they allow for a lot of freedom for the child, and make them as absolute as possible (e.g. "NO playing in the road.").

The Ten commandments are a good start, even if you aren't religious. The biggest thing I am trying to teach my children is compassion for others; life is hard enough without making it more difficult for someone else.

The truth, my parents tried to shelter me and it did nothing but hurt me in the long run. All I wanted the second I had any freedom was to get out there and find out what they were hiding from me. Honesty is the top of my list for sure, your kids need to be able to come to you to get an honest answer no matter how much it hurts to tell them.

They should teach them to avoid being sucked into the black hole of religion. Best thing they can ever do for their children.

Children need to be taught honesty, respect for others, how to share, respectful manners, how to act in public etc..

First and foremost to know Jesus.
Second to look both ways before they cross the street. (all the wisdom they will need in life comes from the first one)
