Here here.
All of them I want to instill the hope of humanity in them. That through the human connection anything is possible.
And while this is in the RS section I will go a little further to explain that I mean not to discount God to anyone (or my children if they believe) yet I believe that if there is a God he/she gave humans the ability to accomplish anything.
To me it is the power of humanity that will make great change and it is the only thing people can mutually commit to.

I'm a parent of a 17 yr old and quite frankly, my kid is great already. I would have loved going through school as her friend and would have loved having her as my sister. She is kind to all ages and helpful. She has way more patience than her mom does(watch out staties, here I come) and yes, she is a typical teen...I have spent weeks trying to "clean" her room after she went off to college. I have had the battles over clothes, makeup, not so much with most of her friends---as they have always been respectful of me(maybe cause their 'wierd' looks were never the issue with me). I hope that she will continue her faith as I have taught it to her, but I realize that it can't be shoved down her throat like my folks did to my wild sister....she came back on her own but it was years later. I don't want that for my daughter. I would hope that we always remain close without me always having to be the mediator between her & her father and me acting out the good cop/bad cop. I hope she will grow in her independence and repeat the good things of her rearing to her future children and get rid of those things she didn't care for. This is my hope for my child. I'm lucky and blessed because of her. Guard Dog

I am not a parent. I do teach religious education to 6th graders...
what I hope that they take away from my class is that they are wonderful children just the way they are. In 6th grade, they are already starting with so many self esteem issues. The girls worry about their weight and how they look, and the boys do the same.
I try to make sure that they understand that god created them just as they are. And they are perfect and unique. Whether they have freckles, blond hair, or brown hair, whether they are good in sports or good at homework.. Each of us is beautiful as we are...
I think if I can make that lesson stick in their brains when they are in 6th grade, maybe it will stay with them for the rest of their lives.....

As a parent(father) of two children, I would like inform few things.
Every parents wants our children to grow in good situation with quality education & good job or in recognised position( if in business). For children, Father is hero and mother is herion. Hence, it is our duty to be a roll model in every good act. For example, if you are a drunkard, and ask your son/daughter to buy some liquior for your some time. Then shortly, he or she will buy the same on his/her own without your knowledge by having bad friends. If you are not having that habit, he/she will little bit afraid some time. May be some time escaped from the clutches of evil,
Children are natural mimick of their parents. Hence, it is better for a parent to maintain good characters & manarism before children. Most of the parents are quarrel with each other before children, it is not advisable and psychalogically it affects the children.
Some children are having one mother and more fathers. In some case one father and more mothers.
You know my friend, what is "SIN". Sin is a bad example and not to do by others and not expect others in to that pit. So, as a parent, we don't want to be a bad example for our children. Try to walk in good ways, one day automatically, you will walk in straight way.

Hello sweet (((((((RedQueen)))))))
I still am a parent, though my children are all grown.. :)
The hope I instilled in my children was not to judge others, to forgive everyone, not to repay evil for evil (my daughter was beat up in grade school, for being a goody goody Christian) while she was being punched in her sweet little face, she said Jesus Loves you and I do too..so I cannot hit someone I ~Love~
The hitting stopped and she found a "friend for life"..which is worth more than rubies or gold..they still talk.. :)
My sweet daughter clearly saw, that No matter what differences we may have, whether it be skin color, beliefs or thoughts..that showing others kindness and gentleness in the midst of turmoil, can prevail.. :)
That is what Jesus meant, when He said..for such is the Kingdom of God..(children).. :)
In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With ~Love~ your "Friend" In Christ.. :)

Yes I have 3 kids and I hope to pass on my faith! I pray that they see it in me and want it! If I can instill my faith then the other things that they need will come naturally!

I hope to give them as much understanding of the Lord as I can so they may know Him, love Him and live for Him. Knowledge is power and if you TRUELY know God it would be pretty hard to not live for him. It clearly states in the bible to "raise children up in the way they are to go and they SHALL NOT depart from it" I'm just leaning on the words of God. Have a blessed day.
