I would say treat others the way that they would want to be treated. Be kind and treat others w/respect.


My parents always taught me this, the thing that they did NOT teach me was to be smart about it. Don't let others walk all over you or take advantage of your kindness. So Be kind and treat others w/repsect ...the smart way.
Hard question. It would have to be understanding. I would want my children to understand others or at least try to understand them. Without understanding I feel there is ignorance which leads to hate. I don't want my children to hate other people. I feel that understanding [or tolerance] is very very crucial in this day and age. Hopefully with that they'd go a long way and be able to love a lot more.
If they are boys, TO TREAT THEIR WIVES RIGHT AND HELP THEM WITH HOUSE WORK. For girls, TO ALWAYS STAY DECENT SO THEY WILL ALWAYS BE RESPECTED
Sometimes falling is worth it. No one ever gets what they want out of life by holding both railings and watching the ground. Sometimes you just have to let go and jump.
To believe in themselves... if they really want to do it, they can do it!
That no one will take care of them when they are adults.To remember it is good to help others but charity starts at home..
To threat other like you want to be treated and never break promises keep your word.
Do not worry about what other people think. Stay right with yourself.
If they always know you love them everything else will work out.
That once you start something you must complete it to the best of you ability. Quitting in the middle is not an option. Once you make a commitment you must see it through.
Some of God's greatest blessings come in the form of ';unanswered'; prayers.
My mom instilled this into my siblings and I:





';No one is better than you but you are not better than anyone else either.';





She pretty much meant that we should be confident but always treat people well.





I will always remember her saying and teach it to my kinds.
Well my son is only going to be three, but at the moment I am teaching him to never talk to, or go with strangers unless mommy or daddy say its okay. He is very smart so when I ask him about strangers he repeats back to me everything I told him. Im so proud!
I would want my children to ';always believe in themselves and follow their dreams'; because they are the only ones who can set their goals to make their dreams come true!
To have faith in theirselves and the Lord and not let the media or others influence their beliefs.
