Respect
Respect is treating others the way you want to be treated. Respect involves recognizing the value of people, property, the environment, and yourself. Tolerance and acceptance are two key aspects of respect. Respectful people judge others on their character, abilities, and conduct, not on race, religion, gender, where they live, how they dress, or the amount of money they have. Respectful people understand roles meant to protect people's rights, their belongings, & the world they share.
Parents may reinforce respectful behavior at home by:
Show respect to your child by spending time with him or her and speaking to him or her in a respectful matter.
Remember that your child often hears adult conversations. Speak respectfully of others, and avoid stereotypes or labels based on race. Don't tell or laugh at jokes that are at the expense of someone else.
Take good care of property you are allowed to use and don't take or use property without permission.
Help keep environment clean and avoid wasting natural resources.
Respect yourself by eating healthy food, exercising, and speaking about yourself in a positive manner.
