What values are most important for you to instill in your kids, and why?

Empathy, Solidarity. Openmindedness.

Also, teaching them to be independent and self assured, being able to speak their mind.

That every action has its consequence, good or bad.

Read lots of books and never stop reading lots of books. Punching up is good, never punch down. Be compassionate but not to your own detriment. Think critically. As long as you're not hurting anyone, do what you want. Taking chances is good but make sure they're informed chances. Find things/careers/courses that you enjoy, rather than their potential for riches. Value listening over talking.

Punching up is good, hurting others isn't? How does that work?
- Might be a cultural translation issue here :)
  'Punching up' means its OK to question and protest/argue with those perceived to have more power than you - i.e. laws you don't agree with, overly powerful/shitty politicians etc. 'Punching down' is by contrast attacking people who might have less power than you in a particular situation i.e. you never report someone stealing baby food in a supermarket etc.

Showing how to cope with a loss. I don’t mean death i mean like losing in a game or failing in math. I never lost as a kid so didn’t develop how to cope with losing. So when i failed for the first time in university and i dropped out(Completed it later). but to this day i never attempt anything out of fear of losing. Im still trying hard to overcome it. So don’t let your kids win every time when playing board games or something.

Value yourself, just don't overdo it. Value others as equal to yourself.

Important because many of the ways people take advantage of each other rely on the individual not valuing themselves. Whether it's underpaid work or abusive relationships, people who have balanced self worth make terrible targets.

Other traps arise from valuing yourself too highly and treating others as less valuable. It pushes away kind and wise people, it justifies harming others for personal benefit.

critical thinking
love
do whatever you want, but do no harm

pretty much all you need. everything good flows from this

Kindness, empathy, and compassion.

Understanding, common sense and a sense of justice for what is morally right..

Pride in themselves, love for others, and fairness to those they don't agree with..

Being a 'good' person even when they don't feel like being one.. because it is the kind, correct and morally right thing to do.

Acceptance and tolerance of others, being able to get along with people. Being able to see things from another's perspective. Also self-acceptance.

Inquiry, wondering about the world, wanting to know things, learning and not getting stuck in their thinking, openness to change.

I guess in short be nice and be smart are the top two.

It's okay to be happy alone.

You don't need a wife. You don't need to have kids. It's cool to just enjoy yourself.

Being wrong isn't bad, it's an opportunity to grow.

When you stop thinking for yourself someone else will do the thinking for you.

It's ok to lose, it's an opportunity for personal growth.

Every person has a rich history and complex life they lived. Avoid the urge to pigeon hole, label, or otherwise treat people as a group.

Already good values here (empathy, solidarity), i would also add to love life/living. We will enter a harsh time and it will be important to remember why they are here and what they fight for.

Why are they here? What are they fighting for?
- Climate Change will be harsh.

Empathy.

Some people seem to struggle to learn this one.

Asking for help is not a weekness. It is an attribute to be strengthened.

Also, you can always try to be better (at anything).

Choosing the high road will lead to many things being unnecessarily harder in life, but you'll gain one great thing in return: you will not hate yourself.

You might not judge a book by the cover, but plenty people do. Make sure to know basic etiquette and how to dress yourself presentable.

Compassion, empathy, loving and respecting nature, and certain things like the absence of racism/sexism, etc. And we absolutely wanted them to be free to choose their own lives. They are adults and i feel we succeeded. When they were in puberty, they did some things that made me confident that those raging hormones might be hellish, but they would come out of it as decent grown ups. That made me feel less uncertain about being a parent. One example: none of us kill insects; indoors they will be carefully catched in a cup and released outdoors.

Self improvement, trust, and skillfulness

Not to be impressed by money and looks.

Don't be a bully and dont let anyone walk on you.

Golden rule.

Be useful and treat everyone how you want to be treated.

Intelligence is not an inherited thing you just born with.. In the long run hard work studying beats an intelligent person who doesn't want to work hard..

Failing is not a big deal ..it's more important to try again, change plans if needed, but always try again

Music is beautiful and has so much more beyond pushed content from social networks.. I try to show my kid some jazz, blues and Brazilian music

And sure..that the government can't give us something without robbing someone else first..that there's no such a thing as free stuff

I'm not a mom at the moment, but if I was, I'd make sure little Chris knows the full meaning/value of self reflection and ethics versus psychology.

I'd lead by example but I don't try and push my values to others.
