How to Give Respect

Video Transcript

"Hello I am Patti German a licensed marriage and family therapist in New York City. In this clip we are going to talk about how to give respect. Respect is probably the one of the single most important parts of any relationship. Everyone feels when you respect them. Now in order to give respect to somebody else you really have to respect yourself. Otherwise you probably will not come across as a very genuine person. But respect is when you find something of worth in another person and you honor that in that person. So to stay focused on what these qualities are, and genuinely feel the importance of them, shows respect. And when somebody feels your respect they really want to stay close to you and they want to have the relationship continue to grow and become even more important and again respect is a feeling that you value the other person and you don't take things for granted.
