What qualities and knowledge should you strive to instill in your child? What areas of development should you pay attention to?

I am making a list, this is what I have so far (randomly added). Please add yours.

* physical development / health

* decision-making

* risk assessment

* problem-solving

* logical reasoning

* understanding of economics and personal finance

* self-regulation

* Critical thinking

* creativity

* Numeracy

* Computational thinking

* focus

* independence

* (self) mastery

* concentration

* responsibility

These are just random ideas, some things overlap or are not precise etc. I was just wondering what others are thinking.
