The characteristic trait is…

RESPECT

Are your children respectful of others?

Do they treat people, as they want to be treated?

Are they courteous and polite?

Do they listen to what others have to say?

Do they pick on others?

Do they Judge people before they get to know them?

Remember that you and all adults are a powerful role model for your child. If you treat people respectfully, your child will also treat others respectfully.

· Talk with your child about the importance of treating other people with respect. Let them know how important it is to you and how it builds strong friendships.

· Help your child to see respect in its own behavior. Point out these characteristics especially when dealing with siblings or friends.
