children

I would start with manners than go with respect for others and therselves. I would teach them that raceisem is wrong and to learn to live well with all races. good values and how to earn and save money. also i would teach them about religion.

Personal responsibility, this is the most important. Then they learn to focus on God and Family as important things that they have input in. They learn value and know their own self worth.

That is a great question. I think most children and adults for that matter don't have any self love and respect. I teach my children to love themselves and respect who they are. because when you do that you put the whole on notice that you are to be treated the same way. I teach them the value of education. not just school but but life. every single day is a new day to learn something that is going to take you where you want to go. be aware to those lessons. they come with smiles and even tears. and most important, love, respect, and know the Lord

I would say Respect. Respect for anything and everything. No matter what others believe or what others do...RESPECT.

Self discipline and self respect is a must because without these two they won't have anything in their life. From self respect he or she will learn their value which will leads to better person in future and self discipline will leads them towards success. I believe that if they have these qualities then other qualities will automatically followed.

good values and right conduct

Responsibility. Too many parents don't want to make their child do chores or be responsible for their belongings, their actions, or their schoolwork because they are "just kids." Unfortunately, parents are raising children who are emotional crutches because mom and dad have always taken responsibility for their actions. I've got kids in the 6th grade who won't keep up with a pencil from class to class. Who won't turn in their work. Who won't do homework...and the ones who do this day after day are the ones who say they didn't get their homework done because they went to the movies or had a ballgame, or, EVEN, bring a note from HOME from the PARENTS making an excuse for it (which is usually a similar excuse.."johnny had a ballgame" "Johnny went to the fair"). Parents think they are protecting their child by getting them out of trouble and not making them take responsibility, but their raising kids who, when they become adults, won't take the blame for wrongdoings, will try to cast the blame on someone else when they make a bad grade.

teaching them not to foprget GMRC or Good Manner and Right Conduct. Have RESPECT especially to their parents...

Definitely to be respectful. I am amazed at how pre-teens and teenagers talk to adults these days. There are some other attributes that fall under the category of respect (meaning if you are respectful, you are also these things). Kind, honest, polite and patient. We started with please and thank you with our children before they could even speak. I also think it is important to teach them to respect themselves - to value who they are.

if i had a child, i would teach him the strong will that is needed in his later life and the love for life. i want him to be passionate for his life and be strong to overcome the hardships and enjoy his life to the largest extent.

I agree with what many are saying about self-discipline. Too often, it is easier to discipline a child rather than teach them how to have self-discipline without an authority figure. So empowering a child and teaching them how to do that for themselves, I think, is a great gift. Also, teaching a child empathy for others and how to self-sooth themselves are great gifts. For a child to learn how to self-sooth in healthy ways goes a long way in developing resiliency factors that will protect them from chemical dependency and other unhealthy coping behaviors as teens or adults.

As a parent and a teacher....self control, respect and manners. Children today are lacking many things. As parents we are responsible for teaching our children how to behave and act they should know those things when they begin school. Teachers should just carry on their academic learning. Learning begins at home.
