Children and respect

F- Most children nowadays have little to no respect for anyone not even themselves.

I- How can we teach our children to respect others and themselves?

V- I think if we first show our children that we have respect for ourselves and the people around us our children will pick up on that and realize that respect gets you a long ways. Even though respect may be earned, everyone should have it. Everyone should be given the chance to give and receive respect from another.

E- I knew a girl who had a 4 year old that had no respect for his mother. He would hit his mother, yell at her, spit in her face, call her nasty names, not listen to anything she said, and even take off on her when they were walking down the street. She tried so many different things to get her son to understand that these things were very bad and nothing worked. Unfortunately when he turned 10 he beat his mom up so bad it put her in the hospital and he was taken away from her and put into a juvenile detention facility. They haven't seen or spoken to each other since as far as I know.
