Respect for the Child
Respect for the Child involves recognizing and valuing children as individuals with their own thoughts, feelings, and rights. It means listening to them, treating them kindly, and acknowledging their emotions without dismissing or belittling them. This approach fosters their self-esteem, trust, and independence, encouraging healthy development. Respectful interactions promote a safe and supportive environment where children feel valued and understood, helping them grow into confident and respectful adults.
