The Search for Respect....

We teach our children, "Respect has to be earned"

Then wonder, "Why is it our children disrespect us?"

I've four reasons to ask myself that question daily. So I search for ways to demonstrate to Them, why I deserve their respect. First of all, to my credit, I have taught them not to accept everything they're told, to Question.

I am their Mother: their first and most frequent experience of the world they inhabit and how they appreciate it (and why) has been taught through me in the first instance.

So let me list what I take some modest credit for:

Healthy

Happy

In/dependent children

Intelligent

Witty

Explorative

Confident

Articulate

Polite   - (mostly)

Attractive

Charming

Disarming

Philosophical

Analytical

Passionate

Courageous
