RE: Are You respecting Your Elders? Does the saying "You should respect your elders" still hold true today?
@thegreen,youths disrespecting elders has become a trend.The way people raise their children has alot to do with being disrespectful.
Children learn alot from their parents, what a parent consistently does, their child will most likely to do. One of those things that children learn is disrespect. Parents themselves often use harsh and demeaning terms to talk to their children. Harsh tones, negative terms, and deconstructing criticism deeply influences how children feel towards their parents and other adults. It also affects how children associate and deal with anger. While the youth of today has a real problem with respect, so does the parental generation. Parents should observe their own behaviors and the values they enroot in their children.
Charity begins at home.
The family is very important in moulding the citizens we want. You just nailed it @Preshey and its true, if we want great and humble youths, then let parents learn to be humble and wise.
Very true @thegreen, parent are the foundation.
