Thank you friends.

He must have a nice trait to brought up his children. I think so, because his children are all well breeded and very noble.

I meant that he, a father of two son, has good attitude/behaviour with his children. So the children have been brought up by the father in a very noble manner.

I used the words `trait' in my original sentence because trait is a one type of behaviour. So by the words `nice trait' I meant that he had good behaviour towards his children. And I used the word `breeded' because I knew `well-breeded' means brought up with good character.

"Trait" cannot be used as a synonym of "good behaviour" in the way you have suggested. "Trait" does not mean behaviour, but a distinguishing characteristic. You could rephrase it:

One of his good traits is his positive attitude towards his children,

The term is "well-bred" = trained in good manners and disciplined behaviour. It is remote from its origins in "to breed" = to produce offspring.

who are well-bred and polite.
