I want them to believe in themselves, to find a peaceful solution to problems, and to give to others.

I think when they believe in themselves, they will find the peaceful solutions to problems, and in turn, give to others. That is like a beautiful chain of events you have bestowed them, Pat. Karen

I'm not a mom, but this is probably what I would say are my top three if I did have kids: 1. Faith in themselves/self-appreciation/pride (not sure if I can squeeze this all into one..But hopefully!) 2. Good sense 3. Ambition

I think you made wise choices, as all of these are important to a child's development. I tried to instill a healthy self-esteem into my three daughters, as well as love, respect, and acceptance for self and others. The third thing was the value of a good education. It's hard to narrow it down to three things, yes? I just realized that lol.
