How do I get a child's respect?

10 Parenting Tips for Teaching Respect and Curbing Disrespect:

(1) Model it: If you want them to do it, you have to do it too.

(2) Expect it: When your expectations are reasonably high, children rise to the occasion.

(3) Teach it: Give children the tools they need to show you respect. Your Powerful Words Family School, can assist you with the lessons.

(4) Praise it: When you see or hear your children using respectful language and making respectful choices, recognize it and praise them for making positive, respectful decisions.

(5) Discuss it: Pick out times when you see other children using respectful or disrespectful language or behavior and discuss with it your children.

(6) Correct it: Be strong, firm and direct when teaching respect. At the same time, be sure you are being respectful yourself while correcting the behavior.

(7) Acknowledge it: Don’t just let things slide! Be sure to notice when respectful behavior is being exhibited and make sure to call them on disrespectful behavior!

(8) Understand it: Your children are growing and learning. Sometimes word choice and behavioral decisions are made because they do not have the correct words or behavior to relay “I’m tired,” “I’m frustrated,” or “I’m angry.”

(9) Reinforce it: Remind children of their good decisions so that they remember how it felt, the praise they received, and the overall experience of being respectful.

(10) Reward it: Respectful behavior should be something that children want to do without overindulgent rewards. However, it is good to associate respectful behavior with intangible rewards such as praise, recognition, extra responsibility, and privileges.

Well first off you have to respect them for them to respect you back. If their used to attention that's very hard for them to respect you bc they would get what they want when they want. If their sentimental its easier bc all you have to do is get close to them and have them gain your trust slowly and make them believe that you'll be there for them through the worst and best times. Then sooner or later they'll come to you when you least expect it. Hope I helped(: I'm only fourteen and well I been through a lot in my life. From helping my boyfriend get out of drugs and into church and from helping my mom through financial depression.

be very nice to them make sure hey are very happy and spoil them a bit also give discipline and just do the right thing.

Well,kids are like monkeys.The wont respect you if you're weak so you have to make them to be afraid of you !No other way =)

1.Don't let them do what they want, but don't make them do stuff they hate

2.Be open

3.Don't pretend to be a teenager or little girl as a means of appealing to them

4.Let them do stuff in groups.

Be nice to them, but don't be a pushover. Kids (like me) don't like it when they get bossed around. Be their friend.
