This time of year, our children start back to school and homeschool,

armed with paper, pencils, supplies, books, but how about respect?

Teach your children that showing respect for themselves begins by respecting the rules by which we live….as a community, a society and a nation.

We do this by showing respect to ourselves as parents and teachers, by abiding by the rules of the classroom. On the playing field, we abide by the rules of the game; and to our friends, by abiding by the rules of friendship that brings respect back to ourselves.

There will always be rules ….whether it be in the classroom or at work or in anything we do.  Having respect for ourselves, by abiding by these rules, is important to our moving ahead in school and in life.
