Children who are taught respect at home are more likely to show respect toward others outside of the home. Explain to them why families and societies need rules, and authority figures to follow and enforce those rules. Help them understand how respect is earned. Demonstrate for them how to show respect through listening attentively, valuing others’ opinions and ideas, and showing consideration to all. Explain how certain actions like pressuring someone to do something they don’t want to do is being disrespectful. Teach your children that when you are respectful toward others, the world is a happier, nicer place for everyone. Let them know that when they are respectful, it makes you happy.
