Very intuitive and practical steps to teach a child respect

Hello to all dear visitors to my child’s world, these are simple points for a large number of parents who do not think about them. They are simple notes and easy to implement, ensuring that children are respectful, that is, they respect themselves and respect others, and they must be self-evident in our daily lives:

The most important steps that help us teach our children respect

The phrase “please” or “please” must be used when requesting something from a child, and when we deal with each other, there is no difference between old or young, and it is not permissible to speak to the child in imperative language when requesting and then force him to use these terms with us. Thus, he will think double-mindedly.

The word “thank you” is very important and necessary and means a lot. When we say it to a child, we give him appreciation for what he does, and we show him love. It is also necessary that we make sure to say it spontaneously in our daily lives.

When addressing others, one must look at them, as it is a sign of respect.

Be silent, or say the word “shh” to stop the child when talking, it must be completely removed from our linguistic dictionary, and when the child tries to interrupt our conversation; We simply have to look at him and say, “Please wait a little while until I finish speaking,” and when he is silent, we say to him: “Thank you.”

When a child complains that his brother hit him, most parents are quick to punish the wrong brother by hitting him! What's the point here? We punish those who hit by beating! Beating is not a way of dealing, and we cannot prevent a child from hitting his peers or friends while we are hitting him, as violence begets violence.

Respect is a mutual behavior, and we cannot ask a child to respect his elders before we teach him the meaning of respect, and for him to understand what respect is; We must start respecting him first so that he treats us in the same way.

Expressing love and care by saying the word “I love you” to the child, or by hugging him, or touching his hair spontaneously, and without occasion or reason, will teach him unconditional love and care for his family members.

Speak quietly to gain listening and attention, and avoid a loud voice because it indicates chaos.

Even among members of the same family, respect, nice polite speech, and expression of appreciation must be followed.

Accept the child’s comments when he alerts someone older than him. To remind him that he did not act or speak in a polite manner, and thank him for the observation, not rebuke him. This way, the child will always be encouraged to monitor himself and his behavior and be proud of his correct manner .
