I guess I want my would-be kids to have the virtue of thriftiness. I want them to save for their future and for their children's and grandchildren's future as well. Of course they may also enjoy life as they live, but I don't want them to come in to a point that they would regret that they have not saved.

Tough question, It would have to be one of the cardinal virtues - so I am thinking I would go for the antithesis of pride by saying humility. So many other virtues hinge off of humility.

I want my daughter to know not to give up on the things that matter the most in life. I want her to never feel like a failure and I also want her to know that she can be herself without falling into the societies way of life and she will still be loved and respected from me just for being herself.

Oh, that's so difficult for me to choose. As I have many virtues Perhaps I will like to give my honest character to my child. Maybe it's not good all the time, but I still believe honesty is a very good virtue and we shall have it.

the best virtue you can give a child,male orfemale, is to teach them to rely on themselves, to be independant and not depend on others for what they can do for themselves. teach kids to sew and keep house and cook, teach them to manage money wisely, to problem solve and not to give up.
