Children will talk about recognising, appreciating and valuing the rights and differences of other people, animals and the planet. Respect is more than accepting or tolerating other people, it is about valuing everyone’s contribution, including their own. Ways you can develop children’s understanding at home include:

• Being a good role model. One of the best ways’ children learn is by watching you.
• Encouraging them to help you with household chores to look after your home.
• Praising respectful behaviour when they show good manners and respect others.
