If we show respect to children, they will give us the same respect. Every child needs our help. Be someone they can look up for guidance so that they can understand their emotions on the things they cannot yet comprehend.

Children are gifts from God so they deserve to be treated with respect, love and care. The children of this generation are highly sensitive and observant. Thus we should be very careful about how we treat or discipline them as they are good followers of what they hear and see around them. Respect begets respect. If we show respect to them they will learn to respect others.

When children experience respect, they know how it feels like and begin to understand how important it is. All parents want their children to be kind, polite and respectful towards everyone. But the big question is HOW? We have to be the role models by respecting them first. We should listen to them, tell them we love them and how special they are. Don’t belittle them or put them down when we speak to them. Give them encouragement privately and publicly.
Another important thing is teaching them the importance of self respect. Respect from others will follow if we respect ourselves. All living creatures, big or small, must be respected.

As I reflect on this question, I ask myself, as a mother working far away from home, have I shown enough respect for my children? Perhaps not so much as I have shown for my employer’s children. Giving respect for children comes with honesty, trust and being fair. This will make them feel important, build up their confidence and help them express their ideas. When they grow up, they will have a more positive outlook on life and make better choices. Also teach children to respect themselves. When we know how to respect ourselves it is easier to respect others. But most of all show love, treat children in the same way we want to be treated.

Children deserve respect! When children experience respect, they begin to understand how it feels and will learn how to show it to others too. It can be developed in our early childhood as we start to explore and interact. Respect is one of the steps to gain a peaceful community. With respect there will be lesser misunderstandings between people. And this world we live in would be a better place. So for our children and the young generations, let’s be a model, and show them how to respect.
