Respect and Responsibility go hand-in hand. A child who is respectful of others at all times is a child taking responsibility for his behavior. In a recent survey, education leaders were asked what topics were so important to school success that schools should provide information about them to parents. "Instilling respect for rules, authority, and other people" was the number one response. This booklet explains to parents why student respect is so important in schools today. It points out that, while schools work hard to teach students respect, parents also have a critical role to play. The booklet gives parents proven ideas they can use to help teach children respect at home, which will build responsibility and success in school and life.
