There is a core set relationship rules that children need when
growing up. This core set means teaching respect and reverence when and
where it is needed. So what do these terms mean, and in what capacity are
they to be applied.
Reverence/Respect: Respect is to hold someone with
esteem, or high regard. Reverence is a little deeper than typical
respect, and can be a form of admiration. Basically, it is when a person
looks at another person and values them for their talents, abilities, or
position. But children must be able to do this. Children who do not
(in my opinion) will value themselves less, or mistreat themselves or others.
It is up to Parents and in some capacity schools to teach Respect and
Reverence. But who for exactly. The categories are simple.
First and foremost, children must respect their parents. As such,
they should be made to help out with daily tasks their parents generally do for
them to build up a level of respect for something they take for granted.
Then scale it up from there. The next category is respect and
reverence for others. Recognizing others for their work, hardships and
empathy with their situations aids in this. Teaching children about the
more fortunate and less fortunate and that peoples will power, decision making,
talents, ability and life's circumstances can either make them rich, poor or in
between. That they are to a major extent in charge of what their future
will be. Next will be Authority. People have hierarchies and people
in charge require a certain level of respect even if one believes they may or
may not deserve it. This is teachable starting with parents being above
the child, and bosses in a business being above employees. Essentially
teaching them hierarchies, and interpersonal relationships. And finally,
the most important is respect for the self. They must be able to see
themselves. In this, they must realize that they have their own talents
that can be refined and improved. That their accomplishments are a result
of their hard work. Self-Respect must be taught at the same time as the
others as the different forms of how respect is shown or perceived allow for
the child to see all aspects of themselves and others. All the while this
can also be used to aid children in evaluating their worth as a respectable
human being and drive them as they continue to learn and build upon the lessons
of respect, so that they can enhance themselves. So they can be able to
improve themselves as human beings and decide who is worthy of a greater or
lesser forms of respect and reverence.
Conclusion: Respect and its higher form,
reverence, need to be taught to preserve and protect appropriate relationships.
It insures that we treat the elderly with care, and that we do not diss
our boss. The earlier these are taught the better in order to enhance and
nurture children to become adults who themselves will be worthy of respect.
