What do you think works with kids? I already know our child is going to speak more than one language. And will travel some. But what works for kids?

The advice from Wild-In-Tent is excellent. I have been happily married for almost 20 years, and have a 15 year old son (the hockey player), and an 11 year old daughter (the artist) - both of whom are my pride and joy.
Based on what you have written PRgirl - you already know what you need to know. I think some little boy or girl is going to be very lucky! Unfortunately they don't come with owners manuals - you just have to deal with things as they come.
Kids learn most by example. If you want them to treat everyone with respect - then they have to see you treating everyone with respect. They will absorb your opinions and values just like little sponges.
I wish you all the best, raising my children has been the best part of my life and I know you will never be sorry you decided to do it.
