Respect does not come naturally it is something that one learns. And it is important to teach our children how to give respect to everyone who deserves it. Modeling and teaching respect creates a safe space for your child within your own home. When our children know that they are loved and respected by their parents, they will feel safe to share their fears and failures. It is important to let the children know that respect is shown not only in their behavior but also in their attitude toward others. Let your kids know that it's not okay for anyone, including adults, to be disrespectful.
