RESPECT YOUR KIDS
GIVE IT AND GET IT!
7 SIMPLE WAYS

Children take their cues from their parents and
teachers. When kids spend more time with
respectful adults, they tend to show more respect to
people. Remember, all kinds of shouting, cursing,
swearing and yelling are transferred to the child and
give out wrong signals. Young ones have a habit of
imitating their parents and teachers and once
disrespectful behaviour is instilled, it takes years of
refining to negate it.

Here are 7 simple ways to making
your child or student more
respectful.

Be the role model
If you want the kids to behave in a particular
manner, you have to behave in the same way
too. You cannot rave and rant and expect the
kids to be polite. Speak to them with respect
and you will be surprised not only by their
respect but a radical change in their
behaviour. At the same time you need to treat
others with respect too so that the kids can
see and emulate.

Raise your expectations
Children react according to what the situation
demands. If you are lenient, chances are they
will take you lightly. But if you have high levels
of expectations from them in terms of respect
then they will also rise to the occasion. While
raising your expectations do remember that
they are kids and not adults.

Teach them
Emulating and learning is the best way to foster
respect among small children. But once in a while
you need to teach them the proper ways to show
respect. This can be done by role playing situations
where you spell out the actual salutations or
etiquettes that they need to follow. As you cannot
expect them to face all kinds of situations in the
confinements of the home or classroom, enact
scenes from real life situations and train their
behaviour accordingly.

Applaud them
When children use respectful language or
display polite behaviour, then praise them
wholeheartedly. Say that you are proud of
them. Recognize their efforts and this will
make them more positive in their approach.
Reprimanding happens very often, but how
many of us actually applaud good behaviour.

Illustrate to them
Of course one way is by behaving in the way
you want them to behave. The other is picking
out incidents from real life and discussing with
the child. The incidents can be both positive
and negative. When you witness a scene
where another child is being disrespectful,
point this out to your child. Discuss the wrong
way in which the child is behaving and how
this could have been different.

Correct them
Be firm with the kids but do not show them
disrespect while trying to instill respect in
them. Do not give in to display of disrespect at
any time. Do not postpone reprimanding
them for later. Do it instantly so that the child
is careful in future not to behave in a similar
manner. But while pointing out disrespectful
behaviour, see to it that you don’t humiliate
the child in front of others.

Reward them
Respect should be an all time thing so how do
you reward them every time? The reward
should be in the form of extra responsibilities
and privileges along with praise and
recognition.

Teaching respect to kids as a parent or as a teacher is not a
one time thing but should be an all time effort. As a parent or
as a teacher, this can take time and try your patience along
with the need to practice what you preach all the time. But
remember, once the respect has been instilled and comes
from within, no amount of anger or disrespect can dislodge it.
So, it’s well worth the effort to create a generation of
respectful children.
