I have a son, he is very lovely. As a parent, I think the next step is to teach him to become a useful person in the society. Who knows which way is the best to teach them?

I have to say that teaching children is a very complicated issue. I am still learning it and hope to teach my son the good way.
I think it's better to teach him to depend on himself. If he wants to buy something, it's fine, but he has to earn it by himself. Also we have to respect their opinions and therefore they will respect to us. Never abruse or do something to hurt their feelings. Help them to have an interest in reading. I think it's a good habit for children.

Yes, it is really a very complicated issue. To make them build their self-confidence is very important. All begin this.

I do not know it i am in the right position to answer this because i do not have any kid yet, but anyways, it might help. The best way to teach your son is to lead or show him by example. Being young, his mind would absorb whatever he sees in his environment. Being his father, he will look up to you as a role model and emulate whatever he sees in you. So be careful in what you do in front of your kid.

I don't know that there's any one way, but the basics like teaching manners are the most essential I believe. I also think that by setting the right type of example for him he will learn. An example of that is hypothetically speaking, to go and work with the elderly or those in need, and take him along with you. He will learn, from a very young age, how to show the society around him, that he cares.
A good idea also, is to make sure he gets a solid religious education. Religion isn't just about a rite of passage or the practicing of traditions and beliefs, all religions teach / preach about such things as loving your neighbor as you love yourself, etc.
