So I may not be a parent but I am a teen who fits into the description you want of a child. (not to sound full of my self or anything.)
If nothing else, Get your child/children into the school music program. I have been in the bad chorus and orchestra for about 8 years now. I personally feel it can contribute to someone's character more then almost anything else.
You get a great sense of discipline that will last for ever. Also Music is a great way of expressing ones feelings and is dreadfully fun.
If nothing else it keeps me out of all the trouble most other teens get into now a days.
Thats my 2cents, sorry if it wasn't exactly what you were looking for but I do feel it is something to be kept in mind. Congratulations on the long happy marrige and may many happy days follow ^.^ !
