I try to instill the same values that you speak of in my son. Being a 15 year old on a 10 acre farm with lots of animals and firewood to cut, there is plenty to do for my son. He also complains that he doesn't live near his friends just like my daughter did at his age, but at 21 years old, she understands the hard work that needs to be done to get through college and take care of her own place, along with still helping Mom and Dad now and then.
The best thing you can do for your kids is to work side by side with you and give them praise for everything they did, and reward them. In our downtime, we ride dirtbikes all over the place and ride horses in our newly built indoor riding arena.
