How to raise a respectful child
AD | this is a collaborative post, thank you for supporting the posts which make this post possible.
When your child begins to grow and enter primary school and progress into secondary school, there are a lot of different responsibilities your child will learn to take on. They will also learn the effectiveness of being honest, kind and respectful to their friends and family.
Raising a respectful child is key to allowing them to build relationships, converse with others and be a positive role model in the future. This and more can be explained in our latest guide from this independent school in Middlesex.
Radiate positivity
Bring a positive energy into the home to show your kids what it means to feel happy and joyous. Children often follow their parents’ lead when they’re looking for support, so by showing them how to be positive you’re also showing them what it means to be optimistic and happy. Your child could begin to emulate your motives as they grow, a great way to show them how to behave in front of others.
Explain to them what respect means
Part of the process is showing your child the means to be respectful in front of others. The saying goes that respect must be earned, but in actuality, respect is all about how to be kind, grateful and in some cases being professional in front of others. It’s also about timing conversations correctly, showing your child to not interrupt others and asking questions respectfully.
Make sure they know their manners
It comes as a part of explaining how respect is shown towards others, as respect is a part of being grateful and kind. Manners, your pleases and thank yous, are crucial for children to learn in their younger years. Not only do manners show your child about the level of respect to give other people, but it also shows to your child that that’s how we speak to others and gain their respect too. Those with good manners are often highly regarded.
