FROM MRS. MUNSON
Respect is one of the most important virtues a child can have. Teaching your child how to respect others will ensure they develop positive relationships with their family, friends, and communities throughout their life. Respect can be taught in many ways, but ultimately, it’s about ensuring your children value each other and treat others the way they want to be treated.
Here are some ideas for discussion starters you can use at home to help your child learn about respect:
1. Discuss the definition of respect – Ask your child what respect means to them. Share with them what it means to you.
2. Ask about a time they practiced respect – What did they do? How did it make them feel? Conversely, ask about a time when someone may have shown a lack of respect toward your child. How did that make them feel?
3. Discuss some things you could do as a family to show respect – How can you practice respect within your own family? Are there ways you can show respect to others in your community?
4. As always, one of the ways children learn best is by watching you. Be a good role model by showing respect for others.
Here are some books to read together:
· Owl Moon by Jane Yolen
· The Berenstain Bears Show Some Respect by Jan and Mike Berenstain
· Respect and Take Care of Things by Cheri J. Meiners
· Everyone Matters: A First Look at Respect for Others by Pat Thomas
