Honesty

Being a truthful person is very important. And this quality should be taught right from the start. It will define the person they become and build their foundation. Your child looks up to you, so it is imperative that you avoid any kind of deception with them, as they will pick this up from you. It's necessary that you be a good role model for your child. You should also teach them about justice and morals.

Empathy

It is important for your child to understand other people’s feelings. This is why you have to teach them about empathy and how to be considerate. While doing this, keep in mind that you teach them about empathy in a way that they should learn to hold other people’s feelings in the highest regard, but also they should be considerate about their own feelings too. Self-love and self-esteem should also be taught. This should be taught right from their pre-school.

Love

This sounds like the simplest advice but there is a catch. Expressing affection should be important and you should do it right from the start to them so that they learn to be affectionate as well. Never put your child in a void. Even if they make a mistake, teach them a lesson but always show affection.
