In his groundbreaking book, More Respect, I'm a Child!, renowned child psychologist Pedro Bandeira offers a revolutionary approach to raising respectful and responsible children. Drawing on decades of research and experience, Bandeira argues that the key to fostering healthy child development lies in treating children with respect and dignity.
Why respect is essential for children
Respect is not just a courtesy; it is a fundamental human need. When children feel respected, they are more likely to develop a positive self-image, strong social skills, and a sense of responsibility. They are also less likely to engage in problem behaviors such as aggression, bullying, and delinquency.
How to show respect to children
Showing respect to children is not always easy, but it is essential for their healthy development. Here are a few tips:
- Listen to your children. Really listen, without interrupting or judging. Let them know that their thoughts and feelings are important to you.
- Value your children's opinions. Even if you don't agree with them, let your children know that you value their opinions. This will help them to feel respected and valued.
- Set limits and boundaries. Children need to know what is expected of them. Set clear limits and boundaries, and be consistent with your discipline.
- Be positive and encouraging. Children thrive on positive reinforcement. Praise your children for their accomplishments, and encourage them to try new things.
- Spend time with your children. Quality time with your children is essential for building a strong relationship. Make time for your children every day, even if it's just a few minutes.

When children are raised with respect, they are more likely to:
- Be respectful of others
- Have a positive self-image
- Develop strong social skills
