One day when I was still a primary school pupil, I got back home after school and find Daddy sitting in a chair reading. “Daddy, there is going to have a parents’ meeting this evening, you’re requiring to attend it,” I said to him with a low voice. Hearing this, Daddy started to comb his hair. When anything was almost ready, I begged him to take me with him. So he did it. When we got to the school gate, Daddy was surprised to find that was strangely quiet in the school. Look at his puzzled face, I told him that it was just a small meeting and that we two were only people invited. Daddy seemed to understand everything and he had to go ahead.

As a child grows out of being an infant and begins to notice and react to the world around him, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly impart all of the things that he needs to become a responsible, respectful adult. 1.________ A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others, but also learns to respect himself as well.
●Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving him your full attention and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.
●2._______ The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.
●Agree to disagree. 3.________ Explain your decision so that he will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn't equate to disobedience.
●Control your impulse to overact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modelling correct behaviour. 4.________
●Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough. 5._______
A．Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.
B．Try to remember that a child won't always agree with you.
C．Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.
D．If he sees you lose temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.
E．A child may act like he pleases, but will respect being given limits.
F．When you see your child exhibit respectful behaviour, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.
G．Setting a good example is the best way to start a child on the path to respect.
