Subject: I agree with you. It isn't a small thing to me. Respect is shown in many, symbolic ways, which is why we call our parents Mum and Dad etc., not Edith and Archie. But gosh, even in the work place, every barrier is down. Soon, we'll be calling the President, Barack or Yo Dude! I'm not saying adults have to be cold to children, but as you say, politeness is the first step. As my father used to say, good manners is all about careing for the comfort of others. Respect.
In reply to: chris k 's message, "today's children are being raised in daycare. Most of their parents were raised in daycare. I cringe at the small percent of population who have a fulltime parental upbringing during the early formative years. Of course I cringe at small things like a four year old calling me by my first name. That to me is the first step of no concept of respect for others during those formative years." on 06:49:05 04/13/14 Sun
