Be “super” respectful
Imagine your powers!
If your child were a respect “superhero,” what would their superpowers be? Let your child draw a picture of him/herself in this role. He/She might be carrying a backpack full of supplies for writing thank-you notes. Or perhaps he'll/she’ll be wearing a bracelet with a “grabber” that picks up litter to show respect for the environment.
Roll for respect
Have your youngster number a sheet of paper 1–6. Beside each number, he/she could list a person (custodian, bus driver, neighbor). Take turns rolling a die and naming a way to show respect for that person. If 2 is for bus driver, he/she might say, “Follow bus rules.” That demonstrates respect for the job he does.
Write a poem
Suggest that your child write the word RESPECT down the left side of a sheet of paper. He/She can make an acrostic poem by writing a way to show respect that begins with each letter in the word. Examples: “Really listen when others speak” for R, “Everyone’s equal—treat them that way” for E.♥
