What are the skills that you want your children to master?

As a mom, I always dream that my children would become great somebody someday using their own talents and skills. My eldest son has a very good voice not to compare with his siblings so I plan to enroll him into summer voice lessons. Not only that, I also want them all to learn martial arts and I want to enhance their other skills. How about you?

They needed to master their studies. Especially math and english to work in the business. They need to master their negotiation skills. But most of all they need to master how to be happy in life and good people.

The main skill I want my kids to master is being happy with themselves. I want them to be able to love themselves and feel like they alone, are enough. I want them to be strong and loving people.

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.

As a parent, I want my daughter to master the things she likes best. My daughter have a lot of interests but her main drive is being athlete in many sports such as basketball, badminton, chess, and biking. As far as his interests is concerned I want her to master each particular sport that has gained her particular attention, because someday the that he learned in those sports will equip her when she comes of age and face each battle as she grows up into a well rounded person full of energy and enthusiasm.

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.

If I had children I would first stress social skills, respect and the ability to listen to authority. Without any of those skills, no matter what field he or she goes into as an adult, they will not succeed. In every walk of life we need to have the ability to interact with people and respect those in an authoritative position.

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.

Hi @ ai-ai, nothing would make me happier in this world than to see my kids become successful in all they do, especially if it is something that comes naturally to them. I would love my kids to be able to utilize their God-given talents to make waves, like I have not been able to do, until now.

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.

One of the three skills I would want my child to master to feel comfortable in any setting regardless of where she and who she’s with. When I was younger I didn’t always fit in and often stayed behind as friends attended parties, dance clubs, etc. While I don’t want my daughter to be obnoxious, I don’t want her to be an introvert either.

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.

I don't have children yet, but I plan to really encourage them to learn a foreign language. For the most part, I think kids should pursue their own passions, and develop whatever skills make them happy, but I think academics are an exception, and in the current job market, being bilingual is an exception. I would push my kids to get fluent in a language other than English. While Spanish is becoming highly marketable, I would probably let them learn whatever they wanted, so long as they got good at it. It's just too much of a global economy anymore, and having a second language can really give you an edge.

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.
