Parents are to be respected - it Is a commandment from God.

A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.

I think there is a lot to be said for the respect that our parents had for children, and for my brothers and sisters and me at a very young age, and for exposing them to the world and what's out there.

Among the other values children should be taught are respect for others, beginning with the child's own parents and family; respect for the symbols of faith and the patriotic beliefs of others; respect for law and order; respect for the property of others; respect for authority.

Parents need to teach their children principles of respect and acceptance.

Childlike surrender and trust, I believe, is the defining spirit of authentic discipleship.

I have the greatest respect for single parents who struggle and sacrifice, trying against almost superhuman odds to hold the family together. They should be honored and helped in their heroic efforts. But any mother's or father's task is much easier where there are two functioning parents in the home.

A child is owed the greatest respect; if you have ever have something disgraceful in mind, don't ignore your son's tender years.

Respect can be as elusive as the unicorn. I know something of this because I write books that are set in the Middle Ages, and the historical novel is often seen as the unwanted stepchild in the fictional family. I know even more about respect - or the lack thereof - because I live in New Jersey.

You have to discipline your children, or they won't respect you, law enforcement or God or anyone else.
