13. Being respectful means you
act in a way that shows care for
how your actions may impact
others. We can show respect for
people, places, and things.
14. For example:
•Using kind or polite words even
when you're upset
•Using manners like sharing, waiting
your turn, saying please and thank
you
•Accepting difference or at least
disagreeing with kind words
15. For example:
•Being careful not to damage places
or things
•Using a quiet voice or calm behavior
in public places
•Sharing resources, only taking what
you really need
16. Examples of what respect is
•You follow your parents' rules to
show them you care (respect)
how they feel about the situation.
•You don't call people names
because you care about (respect)
their feelings.
17. Examples of what respect is
•You don't damage public places because you
care about (respect) preserving the quality of
the place and other people's right to enjoy it.
•You don't hit or otherwise hurt people
because you care about (respect) their well-
being.
•You use other people's toys with care
(respect) so you don't break them.
18. Examples of what respect is
•You dress, speak, and act in a way that shows
you care about what you know is right and
safe, because you care about (respect)
yourself and your well-being.
•You don't interfere with other people's right
to look, think, or act differently than you
because you care about (respect) their
feelings and well-being.
20. To understand why respect is important,
think about what life would be like if we don't
treat each other with respect.
Since respect is about caring whether our
words and actions have a hurtful affect on
other people, in a world without respect, no
one would care whether they were hurting
other people. They might do things that are
dangerous or mean and not care if other
people were harmed.
21. All of us in society need to treat each
other with respect if we want to feel safe
and live peacefully together. Respect is
important because it means we treat
others the way we want to be treated. So
if we don't treat others kindly, how can
we expect them to be kind in return?
24. A respectful person respects himself or
herself and other.
He or she treats in the same way that he
or she wants to be treated.
He or she does not insult people or make
fun of them.
25. Each one of us is important.
We are God’s children.
We have a special place in the
lives of other people.
We all deserve to be treated
with respect.
26. How can you show
respect
to someone who
disrespected you?
