What character goals do we have for our children?

* I want my children to be generous with their possessions.
* I want my children to show kindness to those who are considered outcasts and lowly.
* I want my children to have the courage to stand up for what is right, even when it is not popular nor politically correct.
* I want my children to be the type to go out of their way to help people.
* I want my children to have a positive can-do attitude towards problems that come their way.
* I want my children to . . .
