BellaOnline Forums Family Attachment Parenting What is the most important thing...

When you think about what you want to pass along to your kids, what is the most important thing you want to teach them?

help them to understand, how telling lie devastated their life.

To not have children.

Good advice indeed! lol
I think, you are absolutely right but I can't tell it to my daughter because love to see my grand child.

Balance and the path to good choices

In think it would be great if we start implementing

ourselves to moral values and be as a role models because kids are

the prototypes and follow the footsteps of parents in about 70%.So

I will just try myself to stick to the right path which would

certainly be a open door for my kids......

I'd say pass on the skill of reasoning, because everything ultimately stems from our reasoning process.

Be kind. Hurt no-one. Smile. Say 'Thank you'.

This is good advice for anyone!

the most important thing to tell a child is to let them know that family will always be there for you no matter what. the next important thing to tell the child is that they should always follow the ten commandments. for an example. shall not kill, shall not lie, shall not steal, etc....

Beyond the very basics...

I'd say the most important things I have to teach my children are: (1) you are unique--there's no one else like you--be proud of it, (2) you can do something--even if someone tells you that you aren't capable/equipped for it--if you have the drive and the willingness to try, (3) words won't hurt you, unless you let them, (4) humans are flawed--no one is perfect--and that's absolutely okay.
