How to make a child understand respect?

Answer 1

children learn by example. respect them and they will respect you. i recently had a child (not my child) tell me "i'm learning my manners from you!" she's 8 years old and i always treat her with as much respect and manners as i can and she returns it to me...not to anyone else...but that's cuz they are not treating her that way....good luck

Answer 2

I agree, respect has got to be earned, how can a child understand something if he/she has never been shown.
I give praise if it is earned and take away things that has not been earned, try explaining that if your child does not respect things they have, tell them you will take them away until he/she can learn to treat it with respect.
Never ever threaten to take your love away though as this is the worst thing a parent could ever do!.
I treat my Daughter as I would expect to be treat, she is now 11 and we have no problems at all, to try and force respect will cause a divide, I think its all about meeting each other half way. You have your needs and so does the child.
I hope it all works out okay for you, but please don't try to force the issue with your child as this will do more harm than good.

Answer 3

depends on the age of the child and how much the child understands.
but like your first answer its true if you show respect around your child and give your child respect then your child will learn and will be respect full.
start this at a early age even show and be respect full around a baby because that's when the learning stage kicks in.
but of course even me a first time mother knows when they hit that teenage years they stop being respect full at times. but this all depends on how good the parent(s) were at raising the child.

Answer 4

The parent(s) need to give respect for the child to understand it. Children learn by our example. Parents also need a lot of patience!

Answer 5

1. Lead by example.
2. Respect them and give all of there ideas and queries thought and time and patience. Don't behave in anyway that disrespects them. Just because they are kids
3. The classic line "Would you like it if someone did/said that do you?" inspires contemplation of showing respect for others in even the youngest children.

Answer 6

respect your parents and understand child emotions the child automatically understand the respect

Answer 7

try teaching it to your child. they copy everthing they see their parents do. Explain the difference between respect and disrespect, of course it depends on how old they are wether or not they will understand you. And of course there is the " not getting away with being rude and disrespectful aproatch." If you see them doing something of that nature the disapline them, eventually they will figure it out "the light bulb will come on. Best of luck

Answer 8

Not by beating - as some "people" seem to think solves all problems !
I got a violation last time you asked this question - for speaking my mind about child beaters. Maybe they got one as well as i don`t see their answers any more - COZ I REPORTED THEM !.
You talk to your kids, you listen to what they have to say and take their point of view into consideration - if you don`t agree with them, explain why. Kids kick up and get "sassy" - whatever the hell that means - coz they feel they`re being ignored - and most of the time they are !
And child beaters ARE morons !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raise your kids right & you`ll never need to raise your hand - FACT!
