Teaching Respect

Maria Dismondy is once again having a  Make a Difference Mondays linky party. This month's character trait is respect.  I think that respect, probably even more than other values, can only truly be taught by example.  Adults must treat children, and other adults, with respect if they expect children to be respectful. 

The book Pickle Chiffon Pie by Jolly Rodger Bradfield is one of my favorite books and is a wonderful book to use as a springboard for a discussion of respect. The book, that was out of print for years, is so much fun with it's quirky illustrations and absence of villians.
