Antoschka - Ekaterina Moshaeva: The rule number one: Never do other people, nature and animals things that you don't want to happen to you. This is the first rule because it's a golden rule and this rule is existing in all religions. You must learn to love because love opens eyes and opens soul and you cannot do anything wrong to other people. Another rule is you must have respect for yourselves and for your intuition because all people inside are created perfectly, every person. You must only ask yourselves whether you are right doing to other people things that you do - is it useful what I do for other people, whether these are good or bad things, you know. And we must learn to learn. We must open our eyes and learn to see, learn to feel, learn to smell, learn to taste and learn to understand and learn to be free. And if you are free you learn to work alone, you know, you don't need a lot of sticks. For instance, Salvador Dali painted a lot of pictures with sticks. When you learn and know yourselves you don't need these sticks. |
Abbas Beydoun: I think I did not teach my child anything or rather he forgot everything I taught and chose his own way himself. He chose the worst in my opinion. Anyway, what I should teach my child are not positive values, but rather passive values. I would teach him not to be afraid, to defend his personality and not to believe anyone easily to avoid the bad consequences. The society will teach him the rest of the values regardless of being true or untrue. If I could, i would also show him the means he needs to defend his character. |
Alvaro Restrepo: In Colombia, in gymnasium we work with children and young people that come from quite difficult conditions. With physical work we literally seek to pass on the values that later in life would help them to overcome adversity or bad economic conditions. In my opinion, self-respect, respect for others and humility are the three most important values or three of the most important values. I think the ability to get to know itself, to recognize own abilities to create and produce life is a sine qua non to be able to recognize sacred and inviolable human being in others. Humility is a quality, a value that should be emphasized. If people were benevolent, unpretentious, profound and not ostentatious, I believe that we could become masters of others and masters of ourselves. |
Ana Lucy Bengochea: In my opinion a child should be taught the following things: knowledge and understanding of his/her culture,values,and spirituality. |
Andries Botha: Values. Well first of all I believe that they need to have faith that they can trust, they can trust other human beings. They need to believe that it is possible to be made secure or to be able to feel secure. The last I suppose, amongst many, that they need to have an inalienable, impenetrable belief in themselves. |

Anthony Arnove: Not having children or planning to have children, I would feel hypocritical answering this question. So, I leave this to the parents at the table or those who work with children at the table to answer. |
Anuradha Koirala: The three most values the child should be taught is discipline, faithfulness and respect. |
Anuradha Mittal: Well, again, I don’t know if I can do a listing of the three most important, I don’t think. There are so many. I think there are so many values that need to be imbibed by each one of us as children. So, I’ll just mention three. It does not mean that they are the most important. One is, I would say about courage, to be courageous. Do not let fear deter him or her from his or her path that they want to walk on. Second, I would say to honor and love the other; that is very important. And third, I would say to be taught that life is a gift and that all life around us too is a gift and, therefore, it needs to be loved and honored. |
Ashok Gangadean: When we speak of a child, a human being, understood in this awakened consciousness is the sacred being in which we are all profoundly interconnected. It’s different from the child as understood in an egoised mind and an egoised lens. And so as we raise our children, our sacred beings, I think there are three prominent virtues that are connected with that awakening of the child. That she will know her sacredness as an interconnected human being, and not as an object or a thing. And in that awakening process of becoming and experiencing the child as a whole, the true self, perhaps the most important virtue is that of compassion. Compassion in the sense of experiencing our deep interconnectivity with ourselves, with everything around us and with all nature. When we experience ourself in the "other," that is deep compassion. And perhaps that you could call love, is the most important virtue of all the others and includes them. Because we have this deep compassion and love, we have care. Care for others, we have service, serving others. Because care for oneself involves care and service of others. So what comes with this compassion is breaking the ego barrier that is always arrogant in placing oneself first. And when we become human and break the ego barrier, which is what human being means. To become a full human is to break the ego barrier. We discover a kind of deep humility in entering into an infinite space of interconnectivity, a boundless open dialogue life of learning, of inquiry, of self revision, which was the essence of humility. And that humility becomes a service and all of the other virtues of courage, and all of the strengths that we look for in the human being, will flow from that compassion, so compassion, humility, care and service. |
Audrey Kitagawa: I'd say that there is a premium value that a child should be taught and having been taught that, all other values would fall into place. And that is to be a sincere seeker after the divine. For when we seek out the divine, we come into an understanding that we must live our lives in ways that are in alignment with the divine powers. And this requires us to value honesty, value courage, value personal responsibility, and all the other values that we want our children to have in order to live life as people with integrity and credibility, to be kind, to be loving, and this comes, I firmly believe, in having a child be well grounded in a spiritual life. |
Avi Primor: First: balance. The life has so many components that you must never lose your balance. Nothing is totally bad, nothing totally good. The other one isn't always right but he isn't always wrong either. And we aren't always right which doesn't mean that we are wrong. What's good, bad, regrettable or pleasant is all relative. Balance, you always have to be balanced. Second: justice. Justice is an absolute value. We must never give it up. And third: ambition. You always need to be ambitious in life and you need a challenge to advance and to create something for you and others. And you must never forget what the French call "rien n'est jamais aquis" nothing is entirely completed. Nothing is entirely created. by Avi Primor |
Benjamin Fahrer: Patience. Commitment. Patience comes from commitment. Devotion comes from commitment, comes from patience. Faith and devotion. Understanding, understanding our compassion. Peace. Compassion, patience, and love. There are thousand different versions of love. Teaching anyone about how to be patient, and ground them to be loving and compassionate. |
Benson Venegas: Well, the answer, I think it's very straightforward. Solidarity, because we can really not only share responsibility but support and help others. Cooperation, because we can learn how to work together. How to solve problems together. Moral leadership; we learn the good and bad of serving, and really being leaders with a different perspective, from the perspective of service and the perspective of the ethics of our actions. And compassion, to show love and understanding to others, to the other people that live in our society or our community. |

Bill Joy: I think the first value that a child should be taught is about the truth. And to have a very strong respect for the truth because to appreciate the value of the truth is to have the ability to go and learn about the world, to have the ability to separate truth from falsehood gives you the ability to survive in a society when people are trying to manipulate you into buying things, into believing things, into supporting political agendas or other things that are simply not true. The second value I think is really important for a child is curiosity because it’s curiosity that allows you to continue to learn. It’s curiosity that allows you to constantly explore new things and to enrich your life and to understand other cultures and to appreciate change and to respect diversity. The third important value that I see is that a child should be taught to be compassionate and to allow others to be different and to respect that others have limitations and to give other people space and to recognize when they don’t know things and not try to stick everything in the holes of the shapes that are in their mind. So these three values, truth and curiosity and compassion seem to me to be ones that can lead to so many other things. And if armed with those three I think you can go forward in the world. by Bill Joy |
Bora Cosic: A children psychologist would probably now count main elements of nourishing a child, however I believe that we should encourage that what every small being has already in it self, creativity, and curiosity even the erotic curiosity. We should sustain it by it's conquer of the world and we shouldn’t bore it to much with traditional regulations. However we shouldn’t lie to it, as stupid as it is to babble, it is bad to make concession to it that we wouldn’t make to grown ups. Every child is a mature being which is only not able to proofing this. by Bora Cosic |
Brian J. Weller: The three most important values: I was listening from a silent mind; loving from an open heart; and acting from passion with compassion. These are beautiful values. You think about a value as something we place importance in, something we give our breath to, “a value.” Probably if you put all these together; loving unconditionally, loving without condition. |
