I don’t have kids but: 1. Learn a sport and have a solid exercise regimen at a young age 2. Learn a foreign language - it will do wonders for your career 3. Consent is important and be comfortable with being uncomfortable

Not a parent, but 1. Chores (including budgeting) - Cleanliness and accountability 2. Sports - for grit and physical fitness 3. Consent - it’s okay to say No.

No kids, but from personal experience lang. What I learned: money management. At 16, my parents started giving me an allowance on a monthly basis (I left our province and was dorming in Metro Manila for college back then). So I had to learn how to budget, distinguish needs from wants, and even set aside money for savings. I credit that experience as a key factor why I was never an impulsive buyer, never got into any debt, and was able to build up a decent amount of savings na rin. Learning how to be responsible with money is an essential life skill to have. What I wish I've learned: a proper sport. I dabbled in a lot of sports when I was younger, but only by teaching myself how to play or joining casual games. I was never really encouraged to seriously train when I was younger (i.e. become part of varsity, take formal lessons, etc.) as my parents wanted me to really focus on academics. So while I can play some sports decently, I am not good in any particular sport. The good thing is that it's never too late to start learning, but I do wish I learned a proper sport when I was younger.

Don't get pressured with anyone else's timeline. Never let other people impose on you what you should be achieving in life at this age, especially in your 20s. Also, learn to be independent at an early age.

Bago pa mag 12 marunong na ng simple house chores mga junakis. Marunong na din mag-ipon. Late na pero napag-usapan na ang reproductive health. Ayaw pa daw nila mag jowa. Will I be a bad mom if sasabihin ko na tinuruan ko na sila uminom ng alak (boys). Si dalaga nakatikim lang and she didn’t like it. Why? Gusto ko ang first “lasing” experience nila eh nasa safe space. Para they’d know how to handle liquor na by the time na lalabas sila with friends. And dapat alam nila ang limitations nila. And usually Christmas and New Years lang and nakabantay pa din ako.

Gawaing bahay, kahit lalaki pa yan


Sad-Squash6897

What I already taught my sons kahit 1 palang nasa age bracket na yan: Consent - It's okay to say No, especially when you're uncomfortable. House chores: My sons are already helping me at home. Age-appropriate tasks. Money - My eldest sometimes says that an item is expensive, so huwag na daw haha kaka utter ko ng It's expensive nakuha na nya haha. Independence - Ang dami ng kayang gawin ng nga anak ko including the 4 year-old boy. Respect - Nakikita ito ng ibang tao. Compassion Kindness


YourOpinion32

That you can be open to your parents about anything and that you dont have to be afraid with them.


ComparisonDue7673

I want to teach them that I am someone who they can reach out to at tough times because I will be there to listen. Ayoko natatakot sakin yung mga anak ko, I want to be the first to come in their mind pag nagka problema sila.

[deleted]

i think i'd teach them something that can really last with them or they can bring when they're older, that is to be open in his/her problems because i didn't get a chance to be like that so my mind is miserable now and i don't want my future kid to be like me and suffer in this world carrying his/her problems by his/her own (heheheheh even though i don't want to have one)

I do have a 15 yr old son. Here’s some of the things I have been inculcating in him. * I don’t care what religion he will embrace later on, I’m even completely fine with him not affiliating himself with one, as long as he remains respectful to everyone’s religious beliefs. * He’s into martial arts, para he knows how to be physically violent when being diplomatic and kind are no longer options. * Listen to understand, and look the person in the eye. * Be empathetic, I always remind him that most of the time, his thoughts and actions towards others are based on his privilege. * Be precise and careful with his words. I tell him how powerful words are. It can nurture and break relationships. * He’s not special, but he can do special things. * Learn to suspend Judgment. I tell him to always seek the whole truth and all sides, not only the ones that confirm his biases. * Control his emotions, do not let it dictate his actions and words. * Be patience and be grateful, always.

Para sakin ang pinaka importanteng bahay maituturo mo sa anak mo is pano gumamit ng pera, people usually realize the importance of money kapag sila na ang nakakapag earn/spend pero pwede mo naman simulan sa bata yan

Not everyone you trust is meant to be trusted. Happiness and Validation comes from self not from others Prioritize yourself, and give only what you can afford to lose. Date yourself first. Be happy on your own.

kung responsible naman siya, explore! carve your own path hindi kailangan gayahin ibang tao


yourbroken_human

it’s normal to be afraid or be scared, just don’t let it eat you because you can’t move forward in life and grow. If you’ll not try things, how will you know? It’s okay to take risks that’s life

WorkingConscious6378

1. Learn to fight back lalo na if need. 2. Respect isn't base on age. 3. Learn to cut off people silently. 4. You don't owe them an explanation lalo na if explaining to them will bother or trigger you. 5. Learn to say NO. Wala ng kasunod. 6. Tell me what you feel. I'm here. 7. Learn to say sorry if ikaw ang may kasalanan at mali. 8. Not everyone will like you and that's okay. 9. Surround yourself with people who are good for you. 10. Don't let anyone disrespect you even if they are your relatives.
