R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Interpreting the meaning of the word respect for a child.

Every parent has the fear that their child will come into contact with other less than well behaved children... of course our children are angels!

However, with kids being kids, my son has needed me to explain what he is doing is not respectful.  Upon looking up the definition, I found it very unsuitable for my cutie-pie.  He would not be able to understand a word of the dictionary definition.  Then I went onto other notable kids websites but they wanted to teach me how to teach my child how to be respectful.  An actual good definition for my son has eluded me until now.  

I found it on the website talkingtreebooks.com. (http://talkingtreebooks.com/what_is_respect.html#sthash.jQ9hF6KI.dpbs)

If you scroll to the bottom it has a pretty good definition.  I've tweaked it for my son but all in all he understands the meaning perfectly.

Now every time he's acting disrespectful we recite the meaning of respect before getting off the 'Naughty Chair.'

Success!  My Cutie-Pie's behavior has been altered with minimal tears and grief.  Hallelujah!
