opssie! I got the question mixed up.
*** I just answered What Will You Teach Your Children That Your Parents Didn't Teach You ***

I'll teach them it's okay to hug and say I love you to your family members. I'll teach them the importance of family bonding, how daily family time, where we just talk about our day and what progress we've all made in our various endeavors, is very important. I'll teach them that a university education alone doesn't necessarily put food on the table, they need practical real world skills to succeed.
I'll try to make it possible for them to travel wide and see the world and it's diverse culture, and that their world doesn't stop where their little town stops. I'll teach them it's okay to confide in me, I won't judge them, and I'll try not to. I'll try to be their best friend.
I'll be affectionate with their mom openly so that it's clear we're on the same team and there was always us before them. I'll tell them how much I love them often. I'll teach them that no gender is above the other, and girls weren't born to slave away in the kitchen alone. I'll teach them that there are people that are different from us in some aspects and that's alright, as long as it doesn't put us or others in peril they should be open minded and accept others for what they are.
And that men do cry too, and it's okay. I'll teach them that just because people don't believe what you believe doesn't make them bad people and neither do their tribe or race - in this world there are only good people and bad people, and the line between the two is very tiny.
I won't scare them with the hell bullsheit, or any other bullsheit that excites negative emotions.
I'll teach them to question authority and hold their own in the face of tyranny.
I'll teach them to love and preserve nature. I'll teach them that not everything is plain black and white, god dwells in the grey too. I'll teach them to win but also to not fear failing and making mistakes, I won't be mad at them for failing and I won't look at their report card and say "why did you come second, the boy that came first does he have two heads?" I'll never NEVER tell them that.
I'll teach them that I'm human and I make mistake, and I'm not too big to apologise when I'm wrong just because I'm their daddy.
I'll make them see that we all have different abilities and they should find what makes them the most happy and fulfilled and follow it.
I'll teach them that quality is always, always, always better than quantity. And they should strive for real excellence in all they do.
I'll teach them it's not cool for a parent to speak ill of the other parent behind their back.
I'll teach them to love learning, to be curious and inquisitive, to work hard, to be healthily competitive but also to play hard and know how to have fun and unwind.
I'll encourage them to explore many hobbies.
I'll teach them the value and beauty of books.
Okay, I'm beginning to repeat some of my points, I'll post more if they come to me.

Tallesty1: They have no hand in your introverted personality, you are born that way.

Fallacy!!! People become introverts or extroverts due to the conditions and environment they were exposed to. Parental upbringing matters. Go and do a thorough observation/research.
