What is the mechanism by which your dynasty's heirs will gain their traits and attributes? For example, will it be genetic (e.g. you are good at diplomacy, the wife u select is good at diplomacy, so the child will be good at it too), or will u be able to influence it (e.g. send the child to a military academy to raise military attribute , or instill hatred of nobles in him/herto get a noble hating trait), or will it be a combination of these methods? If u can influence traits throughout the persons lifetime, on the bright side that would make it very rpg-ish and fun, but on the other hand, its somewhat unrealistic, because after people become adults its rather difficult to change their character and mindset.

Which are the option to educate an heir? Can I send him to the monastery? or to a warlord? Maybe a far-east trader? Those would be cool.

Or you could always take the approach that Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia took with his son Friedrich II (a.k.a. Frederick the Great), which is to beat him, humiliate him, and psychologically torture him relentlessly throughout his childhood. It might not have been good parenting by modern standards, but it produced one of the greatest leaders in Prussian history.
Send him to the Turks
In GWAR's immortal words Vlad, Vlad, Vlad the Impaler,
Vlad, Vlad, he could have been a sailor but he's
Vlad, Vlad, Vlad the Impaler,
could have been a whaler, could have been a tailor,
he turned out to be Norman Mailer...
He stepped back and he smoked a joint,
20,000 peasants had to get the point,
Mommy was a hamster,
Daddy was a jailer,
real tough childhood for such a fucking failure...

It would be cool if there were random events based on your children.
"Your heir, now 10 years old, pushes a servant off the tower roof"
A. Punish him severely (+2 to heir's morality, -1 aggression)
B. Issue a firm verbal reprimand (+1 to heir's morality, -1 mental stability)
C. Do not waste my time with this issue. It was only a servant! (-1 to heir's morality, + 1 aggression, -1 mental stability )

What about bastards? Imagine... Event 'Your Bastard Son apears in the Court claiming for his rights.'
I would like an "Nobleman offers his beautiful daughter to his souveraign" event:

b) Refuse the offer (Game over, with a "Are you crazy?" message)
c) Offer the girl to Paradox (+1 custom title, +1 custom avatar, +1 CK2, -666 lost hours)
d) Offer the girl to the forum members (-2 admins, -15 moderators, +5 happiness)

tough one, between 1 and 3, both look good, maybe 1 the first time, 3 the second. 4 is as dumb as 2
I think in the FAQ (or in an old update by sergei) that you can educate your children to get certain traits. Physical attributes though I think are going to be at random.

Not unless they wanted to be branded commoners, no. Anything that involved working to acquire money was considered beneath a noble. This view lasted (in the majority of Christian Europe) well into the 17th century.
GWAR are always relevant No matter what the situation, they have lyrics to inspire us all. They were there, remember.

Send him to Constantinopole to learn *politics* and then marry him with your rival's daughter. Wait some years........ Then your rival's nation collapse by the mass amount of intrigue, scandal, assassination, nose chopping and eye pulling out.
Heh, maybe there should be an event.
Your daughter husband seems to be educated in Constantinopole. Great amount of intrigue in your court. You don't trust anyone. Not even your old dog.
-1 Stab
a) Prounounce him heir to the throne.
b) Exile him. -3 stab
c) Kill him. War with the husband's nation
