How I talk about respect with my daughter
The following content is taken from an interview with Christy Lund, Youth Frontiers Donor Relations Manager — Minnesota.
What do you think respect is?
I think respect has to do with demonstrating to somebody that they deserve to be treated with dignity, with honor, with care. It’s also a way that a person chooses to interact with something. We show respect to the environment or we don’t. We show respect to materials around us or we don’t.
So we can act in such a way that demonstrates those characteristics. And therefore we do something with respect or regard, or we do something without respect — and obviously degrees in between.
