What does it mean to show respect in real life? Showing respect could look like saying "please" and "thank you." It could mean apologizing when you make a mistake or do something hurtful. One of the best ways to show respect is to honor someone's boundaries or listen to their feelings. Respect is a key tenet of citizenship, but it can be a difficult concept for little citizens to understand. Using helpful examples of how to apply this principle in everyday life, this book explains respect in a way that makes sense to young readers.
