My objective is to leave my family adequately catered for, but I want my children to make their own way. I want them to have pride in their own achievements.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Children are easily influenced, and I always want to do things I can be proud to show my kids someday.
I think it is important to let your kids have independence and ownership. Let your kids do what they have a passion for.
Because I'm an older mom, I have a responsibility to my kids as well as myself. I want to be there for them.
I want my grandchildren to be proud of me. That's the main thing.
Giving children a fair chance to achieve their dreams and reach their potential is everyone's responsibility.
One of the principal goals in my life has been to avoid embarrassing my children by doing the job I do. I hope I've managed to do that, and I hope that, with the job I'm in now, they are, if not proud, at least unembarrassed by it. I must say, my three are most agreeable children, who do nothing but delight me.
Kids need a happy household. They need to be loved and supported in their dreams. And I don't think you can make your kids' dreams your own. They need you to support them in their dreams.
I don't want my children to have any kind of ego or entitlement because of what I do. I want them to be good people, and we fight every day so that they'll be that way.
