The Golden Rule states, “Treat others how you would like to be treated.”  Since we all want to be treated well, it is important to treat people well.  You do this by being kind, showing empathy, and being a very good listener. 

To be respectful, you must be kind to yourself.  This is called self-respect.  You know when you have self-respect when you love the qualities you have and you are not comparing yourself to others.  Who you are is unique and you should know you are a remarkable person. 

To be respectful you must be kind to things and places you come in contact with.  When you want to use something, you ask.  Then when you are done with what you use, you put it back.
