[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Raise your kids well so they are decent, moral, kind, honest, open-minded, respectful, smart, functional, emotionally healthy, well educated, resilient and well employed people who are prudent in their choicez.

They will attract to themselves people who are similar to them in these traits. Problem solved.

Moral of the story is that you have to put in the effort to parent well for the rest of your life.  Then everything becomes easy. [/quote]

Agree with the premise of instilling all those good qualities in your kids but you absolutely must add a dash or two of stark reality. Which is, there be monsters out there.

Being kind, honest and moral can be welcome mats for psychopathic personalities. I would assume the "well educated" and "prudent" part may ameliorate that but I have known kids who fit the above description and unfortunately fell prey to cunning con artists who wrecked their lives.

Another trait to add may be, Trust your gut instincts.[/quote]
