[quote=Anonymous]Well, much of it is luck tbh but I’ll try and add a few things we did:

Routines 
Respectful disagreements ( but being upset was not hidden)
Dinner at the table with conversation
Saying please, thank you, good night, love you every day
Keeping a clean and organized home as normal
Expecting all to pick up, clear table, set table, empty and load dishwasher, make bed, do laundry, help with lawn
Time spent with grandparents and extended family
Honor commitments, do your best, be polite to others
Having a dh who models respect, equal partner in home
Supporting their interests, and letting them take risks/ do things on their own. Did not helicopter.

We have 3 boys and all are well-liked, nice young men we get compliments on. All finished college in 4 yrs. Worked in the summers. One is very close to my parents and calls them on his own.

I guess we just had a normal family where we were a unit, did things together but did not make the dc the sole focus. They had space to be themselves but circled back to us.[/quote]
