Of every lesson your child will learn in life... what is the most important thing you hope they learn/become? And how do you intend to teach them this "life lesson"?

It may sound odd but what I want most for my kids is for them to be able to do without me. I want them to be independant, self assured and content with who they are. I hoep to be able to teach by example. I did not marry until I was 29, owned a house by 26. I wanted to be a complete and whole person before I settled down. If you aren't happy with yourself first, no one that you bring into your life will be able to make you happy. I want my kids to know the difference in needing someone and wanting someone to be there with them.

education is the most important thing, along with having an open mind. My family travels a lot around the globe because we want to expose our children to different cultures and languages and ways of thinking. I hope to teach my children that learning never stops and that if you have an open mind, you will meet lots of new interesting friends and will be a well rounded person.

The most important thing I want for my children when they grow up is to be happy. I teach them this by telling them no matter what they want to do in life they need to make sure that is what makes them happy. I teach them that whether they become a construction worker or a doctor I will be proud of them.

I want my children to understand how to adjust to life's many ups and downs. I would love for my children to have a wonderful and perfect life but in reality it doesn't always happen that way. I want them to be prepared to survive no matter what life throws their way. I plan to teach them this lesson by being honest with them about life and teach them coping skills including always having a plan b.

To be totally honest the only thing in life I want for my son is for him to be happy and healthy as an adult. I dont care what he does for a living or who he married or where he lives I just hope he is a decent human being that functions well in society. I wanted these things for my daughter too but she did not have the chance to grow up as she passed away on labor day and I hope he can be just as amazing at 14 as she was.

I hope to teach my kids to roll with the punches no matter what the situation.
I think everyone would wish them a happy healthy prosperous life..but in reality, the best tool I can teach my kids is how to respond when things arent perfect.
That way, when reality happens, they are ready for it.
In a perfect world, I would want them to be happy and healthy...of course. But I cant guarantee them a perfect world.

I want my children to know that no matter what this life may bring, that they can always depend on me. If for some reason, I am not here (heaven forbid), then I want them to remember what i've taught them!
I want them to not be afraid of living life, to live life to the fullest, and to know that they can achieve whatever they put their minds to.
I want them to know that life is too short for hatred and anger, and to do what makes them happy. Always stay true to themselves.
I don't hope they become anything other than who they'll be. I teach them to respect others, and to treat everyone as equals. But I also teach them not to be taken advantage of, and to not be a follower...to be a leader. And I hope that they will remember this as they continue to grow, and that they will follow this advise, and live long, happy, healthy lives, doing what they want...not what others want them to do!

Life teaches them life lessons. You can't relive your life thru your children as so many parents try to do. Love them and let them be themselves even if they aren't "Mini yous".

CONFIDENCE! I think confidence is everything to a person. If a person has great confidence in them selves they can acomplish just about ANYTHING! I try to instill that in my son every day. Every morning i wake up and tell him how much i love him. I tell hime how handsome he is. and give as much praise as possible when he does well on something in any aspect in life.
To me confidence is the key to alot in the world, whether it be social, job related, or personal.
because if you don't have confidence in yourself who else will?
