This book helps our children to understand their own self-respect as well as respect for friends,

earth. The fun text is filled with questions that stimulate interactive discussion and real insights.
What is Respect? tackles a difficult and timely subject. Any parent or teacher will find
this book to be a stimulating and excellent tool to open a discussion on exploring
the many nuances of respect. The author presents a comprehensive and thoughtful

18, I highly recommend this book.

How do we teach our children respect and what exactly does that mean? Etan Boritzer
does a masterful job of making this concept and its endless application to real life
scenarios easy to understand. Read it along with your kids so you can talk to them about
it as you go. I would definitely recommend this to parents in my psychology practice and
parenting classes. Boritzer's entire series "What is" books should be required reading!
