Well I'm just a kid so...don't got much advice..but I suggest you..

When your kids get older let them have freedom don't let your parental instinct that tells you to not let them go out so you can protect them. If you don't let your children go out with friends or go to the movies/mall/etc...your children will be mad and sad. It's hard to explain but just let them go out more "freedom".

Give them lots of love.

Also keep good communication with them..when they get older they might not tell you things that are happening in their life. So as they years pass by keep a good communication with them. Let them trust you enough to tell you things about their life.
More than half of the teenagers in the US keep things from their parents and don't tell them about what's happening in their life.

But yeah just a few things to keep in my mind when they get older.Also never hit your kid...at times they do stupid things. Things that will make you mad, make you just want to hit them to shut them up. But you need to remember them messing up is just part of growing up. So yeah when something bad happens, don't go all out crazy on them. Screaming, etc...Handle the situation in a more loving non scary way...hard to explain but I hope you get the point.

Hope this helps.
