Respect, it is something that we all expect, but don't properly show others at times. Learn how to better show others the amount of respect that they deserve.

Things You'll Need

• Listening skills
• Kindness

Instructions

1. The definition of respect is the acknowledgement that someone or something has value. This gets to the point of the fact that while we may not always agree with someone or what they say, but we must always respect what it is that they say. How should you go about showing others respect? There are several simple things that go a long ways.

2. 

   Be attentive to what they are saying. Make eye contact with them when they are talking and don't be day dreaming. Eye contact is the best way to show interest.

3. Be fair toward the other person. Many times we unfairly judge another person or their views and don't show them the respect they deserve.

4. Give them time to say what it is they want to say. One of the best ways to show no respect whatsoever is to rudely cut in while the other person is speaking. Allow them their time and you are likely to get yours as well.

5. Be sensitive to their thoughts and feelings. Just as you would want others to show some sensitivity toward the things you feel strongest about, you must do the same to others.

Tips & Warnings
