Do you belive in raising your children with good quality morals and why? What moral values are most important to you?

I believe very strongly that children should be raised and taught good moral values from a very young age. The primary responsibility for teaching/instilling these values in your child is the parents, although teachers will make some contribution, simply due to the great influence they have on children.
1. Respect for others, including parents
2. Self-respect
3. Generosity, including in nature and spirit
4. Honesty at all times
5. Integrity
6. Hard Work
7. Kindness
8. Hear what is being said and not just listen
9. Understanding of others less fortunate
10. Genuineness
11. Discipline
12. Good habits
13. Belief in God
14. Patriotism, without being fanatical
15. Make friends with a variety of people
16. Religions and racial tolerance
17. Independance
18. Do and be the very best you can do
19. Finish what you start, i.e. committment
20. Make your own decisions, and if you do the wrong thing then always apologise and make sure it doesn't happen again.
We tried to teach our son these things through example and we are very happy with what he has become, a loving and independant adult who seems to have all the traits that we wanted him to have.
