My advice?
#1. Encourage your kids, and take interest in what they do. Note that I say take interest in what they do, not get them to do what interests you. Too many parents discourage their kids from being what they want to be--and unless they want to be a serial killer, bank robber, or a Republican when they grow up---they shouldn't be discouraged.
#2. Play with your kids. Seriously. I don't care if it's monopoly, scrabble, pokemon, Mario Brothers, or what. Play with them. And every once in a while when they've been pretty good--spoil them a little. All the best parents I know play with their kids in some way or another. You never know, you might even end up having fun!

The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
