For October, The Country School we will be learning about the value of respect through discussions, role-playing, writing, art and our shared story,The Sandwich Swap, by Her Majesty Queen Rania Alabdullah.
Whenever possible, take time to talk to your child aboutrespect. Begin by talking about self-respect and what it means. Ask your child to talk about people he or she respects and what qualities these people possess. Help your son or daughter set personal “self-respect” goals to strive for. Discuss the ways in which you were brought up to show respect for your teachers, your parents, and older people. Contrast and compare how times and ways of showing respect have changed. Talk about the expectations you have for your child regarding respecting other people.
Here are other ways you can reinforce the value of respect with your child: - While watching television together as a family, look for examples of respect (or lack of respect) in the shows you view. Notice how people relate and show respect for one another. Use the incidents as topics for family discussions at dinner time.
- Give your child hypothetical situations concerning respect to see how he or she would handle each situation.
- Read books that deal with the value of respect. Ask your librarian for suggested titles and revisit The Country School’s list of books about respect.
Thanks for being our partner in helping teach your child the value of respect! | |
