　　There is a big question making the rounds （巡视）among the parents at my daughter’s class. Should the kids refer to the parents’ friends as “Mr. Jones” or “Mrs. Smith”, rather than using their first names? I was quite shocked, having come from a home where it would have been unheard of to refer to one of my parents’ friends by their first names. This was reserved for only the closest of family friends and relatives, and even they always had “Aunt” or “Uncle” in front their name.

　　Respect is something that is earned. Unlike many of the other virtues we try to nurture（培养）in our kids, respect is a bit more complicated. It is not only necessary when dealing well with others, but the virtue of self-respect is critical for kids to succeed and feel good about themselves and their choices throughout their lives.

　　There are several factors that can have a big impact on kids and their ability to be respectful. The first one to consider is manners. Calling adults by their surnames, setting proper examples during sporting events and while driving, and how we talk to each other in our homes all can have an enormous effect on a child’s concept of respect and how important it is. Many of these seemingly trivial（微小的）ideas have become almost outdated, but one should seriously consider the value of these ideas before casting（ 抛弃） them aside. It is easy to become unaware of these behaviors. Try to keep track of how often your child is subjected to（容易受到） this kind of disrespect.
