Ways to build respect

Teaching respect to children is important and requires consistency and attention. You want your kids to be reasonable in their interactions with others. You want their work to be presentable and respectable. They need to have self respect and show respect for others including their feelings and rights.

The response to this type of behavior should be strong and consistent. Because of busy circumstances, lack of convenience, or just apathy, the negative attitudes and behavior often continue. Addressing conflict is necessary to build family unity as well as for building character into children. The following are steps help address the issues:

  • Make sure that each child understands the goal – to build unity, not division.
  • Parents should plan together guidelines for treatment, discipline, and rewards. Setup some simple family rules that are easy to remember and understand.
  • Don't let problems go unaddressed. Handle quickly so that upcoming family times are not hindered.
  • Address issues privately with the children involved in the problem. The whole family does not have to sit in and confuse the issue.
  • Take the time to follow-up and stay with it until it is understood and resolved.
  • Restore children who have been disciplined so that negative attitudes won’t drag down the family.
  • Be sure to show love and affection without favoritism. Demonstrate to the children that when issues are resolved, it is now time to move on.
