What are the most important things you teach you kids, that you wish someone had shared with you growing up? Mine are:
- No one is born knowing, don't be insecure that you don't know something, just put in the effort and learn.
- Life comes in stages, don't rush it.
- God is always with you, talk to him often. When you are happy give thanks, when you are sad seek comfort.
- Stay close to your family
- Be loyal to those you care about.
- Try new things. /2
- Every one has something they are good at and something they struggle with. Don't let either thing define you. Instead strive to find the balance.
- Don't let other people make you feel like crap, most times they are just projecting their own insecurities /3

Sibling Rivalry - a thread.
Many kids feel that their siblings are more special; get more attention. This can lead to lifelong resentments and psychological issues. As parents we have to try to give each child the love and attention they need, remember they are all different./1
Some thoughts:
- Kids have different emotional needs, recognize what works for one may not work for the other
- Each child has different strengths and weaknesses. Try to place more attention on the strengths.
- Its natural for a parent to relate to a child who is more like them/2
- Birth order is real. First borns may feel weight of responsibility, middle kids may feel lost in the shuffle.
- Every kid responds to things differently so discipline should be adjusted accordingly. Some kids are very sensitive; others more nonchalant. /3

What I have learned so far, raising a bunch of boys:
- If toddlers refuse to eat, leave them alone. When they are hungry enough they will eat.
- There many things in life a warm hug, loving pep talk and good cup of tea will cure.
- Teenagers are always hungry - always /1
- Smelly socks, filthy clothes and untidy rooms mean a house full of healthy, active kids.
- Teach them to say please and thank you when they are very young.
- Thank you notes when you receive a gift or someones time are a must. It teaches an expression of gratitude
- Don't compare kids ability and weaknesses. They all have their strengths.
- Be kind, the world is so harsh, home should be a place of comfort, unconditional love and acceptance.
- Laugh at all the stupid stuff.
- Spend time with the kids, it all goes too fast. /3
