Teach them the value of work. (age appropriate)

Help them learn to appreciate the beauty around them.

Don't overreact when they misbehave.

DON'T spoil them. Teach the value of belongings.

Take in stages. First one is “eat, sleep & excrete.” As long as those are happening in the right amounts, you’re good.
