Message us Questions and/or comments about the show Teaching and showing respect to our children builds their self-worth and models healthy relationships for their future. We explore how parents can better demonstrate and teach respect. • Building trust and respect requires time, consistency, and genuine relationship investment • Taking children's concerns seriously, even when they seem trivial, demonstrates fundamental respect • Parents who apologize appropriately to children build stronger relational authority rather than losing it • Actions speak louder than words—demanding respect while behaving disrespectfully sends confusing messages • Teaching children to set and maintain boundaries helps them develop healthy self-respect • Supporting children when they set boundaries with others reinforces their autonomy and self-worth • Daily respectful interactions include giving choices, listening attentively, and acknowledging emotions If you'd like to contact us and ask a question, our email address is podcasts@calfarley.org.

Respect: The Foundation of Parent-Child Relationships 20:24

Message us Questions and/or comments about the show 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 Give us a five-star review and tell all your friends about how much you love Brain-Based Parenting.
