What are you looking forward to teaching your child?

Baby Love · Feb 20th, 2010, 10:43 AM

My wife and I were in bed last night, talking about what we're looking forward to doing with our child - like teaching them stuff we're good at. And what we are nervous about teaching/telling them...

I am excited about teaching our child to ice skate because I love it! And also teaching them to play piano (if they want to). I'm also looking forward to reading stories to them at bedtime, and playing at bathtime...Teri said she was nervous about the day when our not-so-small child comes and asks for the car keys! LOL

What are you all excited/nervous about...?

I am excited about teaching them the rights and wrongs of life, to teach them respect and love and to pass on my faiths and beliefs. I can't wait to teach them to draw and paint and dance and everything!

What I'm nervous about? Puberty!

Oh dear... I think I'm reconcidering already

I can wait to teach my kids to have morals lol (not exactly religious- just to set standards for themselves and respect themselves) and be honest and kind above all other things. I can't wait to fuel their individuality and encourage them to grow up as passionate people. I'm not nervous about puberty or anything really. I'm just pure excited lol.

I can't wait to teach them how to love themselves and others. We just have so much love to give. So many hugs and kisses that I can't wait to give my future LOs. I also can't wait to teach them some of my family traditions like making ravioli from scratch (even the boys!!)

Oooh ravioli! Yum! My wife is a chef so I'm sure she's looking forward to teaching our child(ren) how to cook things
