How Respect is Learned
§ The best way to
teach your child about respect is for you to show respect to yourself, your
child, and others.
§ Kids are greatly
influenced throughout their day by adults – whether it be a parent, teacher, or
coach. Observing respectful adult behavior helps your child learn the value of
respect and how to use it to her advantage.
§ Marriage and Family
Therapist Robert Navarra, Psy.D.,
o
encourages
parents to model respectful behavior with children and with each other
o
Avoiding
labels, sarcasm, and criticism at home.
§ As your child grows
older, it is important to maintain, and demand, an environment of respect.
§ “As your child
enters the teen years, it can be extremely difficult to show respect and
establish boundaries with your child when he or she is being disrespectful to
you.
§ Keep in mind that
schools may teach children about respect, but it is you, the parent, that holds
the most influence over your children.
o
If
you are caught bad-mouthing the opposing team during a soccer game or screaming
an obscenity at the idiot who just cut you off, your child will take this as a
cue that it's okay to be disrespectful to your peers.
o
Truly
listen to them when they have something to say.
o
Let
them know that their words and feelings are important to you.
o
Help
them learn to appreciate and take care of their things by respecting their
personal property.
o
Respect
their privacy by knocking before entering their room and ask that they do the
same. Remember, you are their role model and the old adage "Do as I say
not as I do" simply doesn't have any merit where matters of respect are
concerned.
When Others are Disrespectful
§ Backbiting
o
Lack
of respect involved in back biting, mere words that cause pain to the one maligned, a word without
thinking about its implications,
o
Talking
about somebody in a derogatory way or in a way that would not be pleasing to
the one being spoken about.
o
It
is called back biting because it is usually done when the person being maligned
is absent or “behind his back”.

“what concerns his body,
His/her religious practice,
His/her worldly stand,

His/her parents,

His/her children,
His/her spouse,
His/her servant,
His/her clothing,

indication or a gesture…”

jealousy. Those who engage in it are disrespecting and harming others.
o
Become
so widespread nowadays that people use it as a way of expressing anger and
jealousy. Those who engage in it are disrespecting God by disobeying Him
and harming others. Magazines and television shows are devoted to
gossiping and prying into the private lives of others. There is no respect
for privacy, and contrary to popular belief, the lives of others are not source
material for gossip sessions.

respect; it violates one’s private right over one’s mind.
o
Lying
out Fear, shame, regret, wishing to spare others pain and shame and regret, the
list is enormous.
o
Don't
judge someone, or yourself, too harshly. Personally, and professionally, I know
people who have lied to protect themselves and their loved ones from the
consequences (or imagined consequences) of telling the truth. In some cases that
lying led them down the path to self destruction because they couldn't handle
the lying.
§ Spying
o
Spying
involves eavesdropping and asking too many private questions because it
involves disrespecting the private lives of others.
o
If news came to you’re from a rebellious evil
person, verify it, let you not harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you
become regretful to what you have done.
o
Spying
leads to backbiting, suspicion, for suspicion on false tales; and the others'
faults and be jealous of one another.
§ Foul Language
o
Bad
words show disrespect to those being spoken about and a total lack of
self-respect.
o
Reviling,
insulting, cursing and rudeness, these are bad words and they usually are
uttered when someone is overcome by anger.

Anger
is an emotion that may open the doors to all kinds of evil and
disrespect. It can sometimes result in breaking the bonds of goodwill and
even destroy family relationships.

Anger
can even move beyond just using insulting words and cause one person to
physically harm another.

Bad
words lead to evil doing

is absolutely not okay for anyone – including an adult – to treat in a
disrespectful manner (and vice-versa).

warranted in life.

respectful adults. Society – and our children
