THE BEST INHERITANCE YOU CAN GIVE TO YOUR CHILDREN.
1. WISDOM
Wisdom is not graded in schools, wisdom is acquired through life experiences. The best people to teach wisdom are the parents.
Mentor your children, share with them your experiences, don't allow them to learn tough lessons through trial and error yet you can impart in them awareness that will make them wiser and go further than you
2. SOCIAL SKILLS
This is one of the most important inheritance you can give them because life is about relationships.
Teach your children how to handle self, how to handle sisterhood and brotherhood, how to handle the opposite gender, how to choose the right company, how to make friends and keep friends, how to interact and socialize, how to communicate. This will help your children as they leave your nest
3. HEALTHY VIEW OF FAMILY
If you damage your children's view of marriage you might damage them for life. As a couple, model to them what a healthy couple looks like; the experiences at home shape the children's romantic decisions.
If you are a single parent, perhaps divorced or widowed; still speak honourably about marriage and family. Let your children know your experience doesn't have to be their experience
4. GOOD MEMORIES
Childhood memories are what torment adults or keep adults going. Give your children moments they will treasure even after you are gone. Let your children testify, "There are good people in this world and they came in the form of my parents"
5. SOUND MENTAL HEALTH
The worst thing you can leave to your children is trauma. A lot of children receive trauma from their parents through insults, abuse, neglect, comparison and rejection. Leave your children sound mental health by caring, loving and covering them
6. A GOOD NAME
Leave your children a reputation that they will admire, be great to the point your children will feel proud to be associated by you, to carry your name and to name their children after you
