Teaching Respectful Behavior To My Child

Respectful behaviors are one of the most important things that we model as parents.

It helps shape their character and teaches them to focus on others, as opposed to just themselves.

Teaching Respectful Behavior To My Child

Listed below are 8 ways you can teach your children to be respectful of others:

1. Look people in the eye

2. Acknowledge people

3. Do not interrupt

4. Use manners and always be polite

5. “No” means no

6. Do not embarrass someone even if they are wrong

7. Help others as occasions arise

8. Remember the golden rule — Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Do not be sarcastic or dismissive to your children. They follow what they hear and the tone with which it is used.

Do not let your child walk all over you-this does not earn respect.

Always be calm and cool. Always keep an “indoor” voice as they say,

Respect is an important skill, one that will help children succeed when they are young and they become adults.

YOU will lead and guide your children and as they watch you they will have respectful behavior.

It becomes easier when the parent knows the child needs their Toolbox. Which will be full of topics and issues that they need to have as they develop into Middle School and beyond. Life is not easy, maybe for a few, it is but not for most of us. Make sure that you the parent stay off social media or the phone when your child is at home. Your attention to them is the top priority. YOUR needs come secondary to your child’s needs. Pay attention to what they are doing and what they are saying.
