Parenting involves a lot of teaching. When we bring home our child from the hospital they literally know how to do nothing. It is our job to teach them everything they will need to know to function in society as and adult. In addition to teaching them how to dress, do algebra (yuck!), drive, balance a checkbook, and a million other things, one task we often teach by example but should be taught with intention is the art of respect.
Jill Rigby Garner and Sheila Seifert have written a wonderful article on teaching our kids respect starting at an early age. You can read this article on the Focus On The Family website by clicking HERE. Take a few minutes to learn more about this important part of parenting. Investing in this area will someday produce great benefits for your child!
