Be kind. I try to teach my kids that at any moment their lives can change for the worse. Being kind, courteous, thinking about the other person and putting their feelings first can reap great rewards. They don't see that yet, but they are kind people. They have empathy for other people and enjoy helping the less advantaged and they actually say thank you. My cancer taught them that "things" are as important they thought they were, and their assistance throughout my teatments (without my having to ask) was invaluable to me. Now that my treatments are done, that behavior is still evident and I am so grateful for them.

In one run-on sentence: Love others as you love yourself and treat others the way you want to be treated.
I know it's biblical but I think it's still the best basic advice for a life well-lived.

always look people directly in the eyes during conversation -it is intimidating to liars and ******* and respected by others
other benefits,as well- but if we are talking to children,i've probably already said enough :-)

How to have respect for people and not be demanding and pushy like a lot of kids are now.
Also, table manners.

Life has it's ups and downs, it is never perfect, and to expect everything.
and the most important thing is to be thankful for what they have.

don't be too nice and too stupid. some people will walk all over you if you let them. so open your eyes to anyone who may try to take advantage of you.

Always be true to yourself and never give up what you believe in for no one.
