And we enjoy hearing their answers… a doctor, a teacher, a fireman, a ballerina.  But what if the question was not about what they wanted to do for a living but who they wanted to be as a person?  Less about career, and more about character.   Imagine your child answering, “I want to be a person of integrity… of wisdom… of courage and conviction.  I want to be patient… compassionate… generous… honest.”  Talk to your child about the kind of person they can become.  It’s okay to want your kids to have a good career, but it’s more important that they have good character. Start with these 10 ways to instill character in your children.
