I have four kids...two in college now...the other two are on track to be in a few years...I get compliments on them all the time...
The number one piece of advice I can give you is to suspend any preconceptions you have, consciously or unconsciously, about the kind of person they will be...don't force them into some mold you have in mind for them...they will be separate and distinct beings from birth...treat them as such with as much love and guidance as you can muster...let them breathe...
Also:
Expose them to as many things as possible, and let them choose the things that they want to follow up on...
Model good behavior, so they will see what good behavior looks like...point out good behavior to them as opportunities arise...
And hope luck is with you...
- plainOldText 11y agoThis is very nice advice. Thank you!
- ceocoder 11y agoThank you very much, and congratulations on raising great kids. I'm really looking forward to the time ahead, the first few years are really fun - this is the time when you as a parent (or uncle/aunt) are a superhero to the child, you can do no wrong.
