Respect and tolerance are values and admirable traits. As a parent, you can weave lifelong lessons of respect and tolerance into your family’s everyday life. Here are some ways.

Be a respectful role model. Speak to your child using words that demon-strate respect. .

Teach your children that they have value and the importance of self-respect. You can help your child understand the concept of self-respect by applying it to concepts like pride and self-worth. Even simple things like eating healthy, using good hygiene and getting enough sleep help children learn self-value through learning to care about their

own well-being. Children must learn the importance of self-respect before they can be expected to respect others or show concern for others.

Should your child say something inappropri-ate, don’t overlook your child’s disrespectful com-ments because you may be uncomfortable or even embarrassed. Children tend to possess a very egocentric view of the world. � ey of-ten assume that everybody is just as they are; acting and talking as they do. When children see some-one who isn’t just like them, they may make comments that appear rude to adults. If and when your child does this, use it as a “teachable

moment.” � is lesson takes on a greater signi� cance when we display through

our own actions respect and tolerance of people who ap-pear to be di� erent from us.
