12 Things I'D Teach My Child

I'd teach my children to be humble,
I'd teach my children to be dutiful,
I'd teach my children to be independent,
I'd teach my children to be honest,
I'd teach my children to love and appreciate nature,
I'd teach my children to be considerate of others,
I'd teach my children to care for their environment,
I’d teach my children the ways of the Lord,
I'd teach my children the benefits of perseverance,
I'd teach my children about values and goals,
I'd teach my children to know their fundamental rights,
I'd teach my children patriotism.

Thanks for sharing and for the visit to my page. Sara Thompson Emate February 16, 2023 at 7:23 PM Yes, Sara, only if we could indeed teach them. Thanks for stopping by.
