Student Workshop: Let's Talk About Respect is designed to give children the opportunity to explore some of the concepts and applications of respect. Short, realistic vignettes present specific problems for them to think about and discuss—problems concerning respect for another's feelings, respect for rules and authority, and respect for oneself. By getting involved with these situations, children begin to develop their own ideas about how people should treat each other. And in the process, they understand what it means to respect themselves.
Learning Objectives will:
~ explore the meaning of the word "respect."
~ learn some ways that respect can be demonstrated.
~ become more sensitive to the feelings of others.
~ understand the kinds of problems that can arise when rules are not followed.
~ see how respecting others leads to self-respect.
