You teach your kids about your beliefs and tell them what you think is right and the conclusions that you've come to from living in the world, and then they can make their own decisions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Just so that we are clear on this, I am in favour of teaching children about different beliefs. I am not in favour of indoctrinating them in any particular belief, including my own: these issues should be presented as beliefs, not as fact.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.
'What can your kids teach you?' Well, I believe something different about kids. We don't own them, they have their own knowledge. From the start you have to make the choice to listen.
My children, to the extent that they have found religion, have found it from me, in that I insist on at least a modicum of religious education for them.
You tell your kids that no matter what, you set your goals and you go for them. Whatever it is you achieve, never give up. You want your kids to have that good attitude, the confidence, and the will power to believe in themselves.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Teach your children everything that you're not, because they will pick up on everything that you are.
I know that what I see in every religious person is not something I want to teach my kids.
I want to just be what kids believe in.
