Children learn quickly the concept of respect, that if you are respectful of yourself and others you will be treated respectfully in return. Self respect lays the ground work for how you treat everyone else in your life. As you interact with other people your child watches and observes -how you talk to someone, the tone of voice you use, if you are patient or impatient – all the while learning to be just like you. How you conduct yourself, the smile you manage to give when under duress or the anger you display, leave lasting impressions on your child’s impressionable mind. The way you treat people influences your child’s perception of how people should be treated. Teach your child self respect and as he/she goes through life this quality will guide him to show the same respect to others.
