I'm not going to repeat things, but I also think teaching them to be safe- in the house, with strangers etc

I'm going to go with, Tolerance, Respect and Self Worth. I beleive that those things are important to make a well rounded, functional human being in this day and age. Once you teach the children these things, they will want to read and learn and do well for themselves, I think. Also they will have many friends, because they can respect people and they will have many different types of friends in shapes and colors and ages because they will be tolerant of other people. We need more Tolerance.

There are a lot of answers here I agree with. This is the ones I think are the best after thinking on it. Self confidence, respect (for themselves and others), and a sense of right and wrong. As for reading at an early age. I don't like that one at all. But.. several years back I did a bit of studying on kids and learning styles and such things. I cam across a bit of information that children are less likely to read for enjoyment as they get older anymore. One of the concequences from forcing to learn to read too early. Not sure how accurate that information is nowadays, but I can see how that is possible. As long as my kids can read before they leave elemetary school, I'm happy. My son picked it up early, he was 4. My daughter is 5 now and is starting to pick up words here and there.

You continually teach your children as they go through different stages in life; the aim being to end up with a well balanced, educated and compassionate human being at the end of it. Things learned at a very early age influence our whole outlook on life in years to come. Along the way we have to help them learn how to deal with all sorts of situations and emotions. As parents we never stop learning either and I am proud to say my teens could now teach me things I never knew before (although what I will do with A level Physcis is a little beyond me ;0))

1. don't work within our society's framework of what is important. 2. celebrate the beauty of the world and mystery of life. 3. spend quite time alone to constantly assess and adjust your priorities in life. no small task!!

... and never to unquestioningly accept at face value what you are told by authority. Even when it's me telling you.

1) Be honest whenever possible but particularly in govt. transactions. It will give you an enormous amount of power re reputation and not being afraid of being caught. 2) Read the fine print and if you don't agree with something make a note of it on the contract before you sign it. 3) Be wary of people who stand to make money from what they're telling you. Brokers, RE agents, salesmen w/commissions, etc. Dad's; I'll add my own -- if someone asks you if he should marry someone, don't just say yes based on what YOU have seen. Say, "Why do you ask?" and then listen carefully. Also -- tell your child how to raise his own child while you are raising him. I.e., "Do not ever tell your child you wish he had never been born," "Do lots of different things with him because interests that are kindled early will be easier to follow up on later." "People lie because they are afraid of the consequences that come from telling the truth," and "If you want to ride a horse, you don't start by putting a burr under the saddle."
