What 3 lessons do you want your children to learn from you ?

What 3 lessons do you want your children to learn from you ?

I expressed few facts about myself few days back. They did intrigue a few bloggers. Though one of the facts made someone to question me about it.
It was about not becoming a mother anytime in my life. Time and again I keep repeating this. I do not wish to have children of my own. Though I do not mind petting cute kids of others, but I cannot envision having my own.
So, in this scenario, if I get a daily writing prompt like this, I chuckle.
So, here I go again with my today's writing prompt.

What 3 lessons do you want your children to learn from you ?

1.     I will teach them to love and respect their individuality
This is one advice I give everyone. How can one expect love and respected from others when you yourself do otherwise. At the end of the day every individual has to respect their own integrity.
2.     Do not expect to get education from schools
I am someone who detests the system of education. I find them more of a money making institution than the one parting education. If I have kids, I will not ruin their capabilities by sending them to school. 
Rather, I would teach them to emphasize on finding their inner passion. Then I would help them to steer them to develop a skill set in and around their passion.
3.     Do not let anyone ruin your happiness
As mortal beings, we human beings are not worth much. Moreover, none of us know what might happen the next moment.
To put it simple, there is not much time in hand. Life is way shorter and unpredictable than we expect it to be. 
Thus, I would not want my precious child/children to waste time being unhappy for any reason. I would teach them to be happy. They should never depend on anyone else to make them happy, not even me, their mother.

  1. You would make a v.good mother. Don't deny yourself such a pleasure. :)
    I'ld try to inculcate into them that failure happens but it's not final and we must bounce back harder from it.
