As a child grows up, you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult. A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others, but also learns to respect himself.
◆Show him respect.
This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.
◆
The more you say "please" and "thank you" to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.
◆Agree to disagree
Explain your decision so that he will understand you and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn't necessarily mean disobedience.
◆Control your impulse (冲动) to overreact.
When a situation arises, stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior.
