We should aim for our children to be good people, and to live ethical lives that manifest concern for others as well as for themselves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The well-being and welfare of children should always be our focus.
The candid and honest and pure heartedness of children has strengthened my views that we are all equal and should be afforded the basic human rights that we all deserve.
Giving children a fair chance to achieve their dreams and reach their potential is everyone's responsibility.
If we care about life and the dignity of all life, then we care about the dignity of all life, and that includes the human life of children.
When you think about the children, one of the things that I'm quite concerned about - and I've heard it expressed by others - is trying to find how we can build better accountability, work to provide a level of education that prepares our children for the future.
We have obligations towards the innocent, the dead, towards the living, towards our children and their children.
We have a moral responsibility to protect the earth and ensure that our children and grandchildren have a healthy and sustainable environment in which to live.
Among the other values children should be taught are respect for others, beginning with the child's own parents and family; respect for the symbols of faith and the patriotic beliefs of others; respect for law and order; respect for the property of others; respect for authority.
What we are doing to the future of our children, and the other species on the planet, is a clear moral issue.
I think we have a moral obligation to our children that can be easily summarized: number one, protect them from harm.
