Most important trait to teach children?

Warrigal said:
Children pick up a lot from our behaviour. If we are generous, they learn generosity; if we are kind, so they will be. The one important trait we have to teach them is resilience in the face of adversity and disappointment. To do this we must allow them to be sometimes disappointed or hurt physically or emotionally. To shield them too much from these things is to do them a disservice.

For the most part I agree, but it can go too far... when people learn virtually from babyhood that nobody will ever do anything for them, help them, or be there for them, they can turn into individuals who "lie, cheat, and steal" to get whatever they want, regardless of how it affects anyone else.
