M$I would like for my kids to learn as much as they can. I teach them around the house to clean, and I teach them how to cook. When things break, I have them watch or help fix whatever it is. When something goes wrong with the car, I have my son watch, so he can possibly fix it next times it breaks.
As far as extra activities, I leave it up to the kids. When they want to try something, we do. Recently they wanted to both start volunteering at church, so now they both volunteer every Sunday. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4066/4320143643_e2075cbe26_t.jpg

M$Having a daughter that has a special interest in sports, makes me as a parent truly proud and I will make sure that I will be there each step of the way, guiding her in moments when a daughter needs her parents the most.
Personal opinion.

M$As for other skills, such as singing, dancing, athletics, academics, I would just make sure I instill a great work ethic into them. I wouldn't try to persuade them into one area or another. Let their God given abilities come out and whether it is an ability to sing, the ability to build things, write, cook, athletics, whatever it is, just make sure they do the best at what talents they are given. If children do that they are bound to succeed in any field they wish to persue.

M$I lost some opportunities when it comes to my own talents, but I have no regrets and still know that it is never too late to do something with ones talents as long as you keep it alive and put an effort into brushing it up.
My daughter is 22months old and I can already see a star in the making. I would do my best as a mother to lead her to the right paths and let her decide if that is what she really wants to do.

M$Another trait I would like my child to master is to be independent. I want her to get to the point where she will be able to do and think about things for herself instead of looking to us to make decisions for her.
Last not but least, I want her to master the art of humility. I see a few kids today that think that the world owes them something and that they she shouldn’t have to work hard for what they get. I want her to know/understand that she has to be willing to give of herself if she hopes to be successful in life.

M$I only speak English, and I feel like in my field, I'm getting less and less competitive. Foreign languages are hard for me, and I wish I had learned one as a kid, because it's so much easier to pick up a second language when you're young. It also makes foreign travel much easier, and I hope my kids inherit my love of travel, because I think it increases quality of life.
