Respect: The Foundation of Parent-Child Relationships

Brain Based Parenting

Send us a text

Developing respectful relationships with our children requires understanding different perspectives on respect and modeling the behavior we want to see. We explore how parents can navigate the challenges of teaching and demonstrating respect without being overly permissive or authoritarian.
• Many teens define respect conditionally—"I'll give it when I get it"—while adults value others' feelings regardless of differences
• Social media influences how kids define respect, often tying it to status, followers, and influence rather than character
• Modeling respect is more effective than demanding it—children learn by watching how we treat others in everyday situations
• When emotions run high, remember: "Your mood doesn't get to dictate your manners"
• Give children appropriate power and choices to prevent disrespectful exchanges
• Sometimes calling a timeout is the best approach, allowing everyone to cool down
• Be curious about the intention behind disrespectful behavior before addressing it
• Role-play respectful conversations to help children prepare for making amends
• Avoid counter-aggressive responses which create fear, distrust, or power struggles
• Balance boundaries with respect for feelings to help children internalize respect
