All declarations
I M teaching my children respect by how I treat the ones who can do nothing for me.
Wisdom
Your child is not absorbing your lecture on respect. He is watching how you speak to the waiter, the worker, the stranger who cannot help you. That is the real class, and it is always in session.
Carry It
Treat one person today who can do nothing for you with visible respect, knowing a young pair of eyes is learning from it.
Ask Yourself
What are your children learning about power from watching how you use yours on people beneath you?
I bring the words. You bring the voice.
