Every day in every way, you teach respect by your action as well as your words. This is such an important topic that I have launched a new survey on our web site. Do you think children are more respectful or less respectful than 10 years ago? Go to www.atiseminars.org and make your voice heard.
Children don’t naturally learn how to be respectful. It is a learned behavior. They learn it from watching others be respectful. They also learn it when there are boundaries set, and then there is follow-through in the boundaries. When children do whatever they want, and get away with it, they learn disrespect. When children “con” adults in their lives with lies the adults believe, the children learn to disrespect those adults. When children see significant adults in their lives not respecting each other, they learn disrespect. When children are abused, they learn to fear their abuser, but they also learn disrespect.
Have a great day.

"ASK THE EXPERTS"

As the oldest child from an alcoholic family and then raising a strong willed child I have learned a great deal about defiant behavior. Just one question why only on child relations? I would like to learn about how to handle difficult adults, including your own spouse. This would help me so much as a nurse in corrections. Thanks for your work.
Your comments are very valid. I have a great book I wrote called, How to Talk to Kids so They will Listen. You can get it on our web site at our Teacher Boutique. I always tell audiences that it works for adults too!!! And it does.
Best wishes,
Maryln
