My name is {{childName}}, and this is my story about talking with respect. Talking with respect means using kind words and a calm voice, even when I feel upset. It helps other people feel comfortable around me.
When I talk with respect, I use a calm, friendly voice instead of shouting. I can say 'please' and 'thank you,' and I can wait for my turn to speak. Respectful words help people listen to me.
Sometimes I feel cross with a grown-up or someone else. Even then, I can tell them how I feel with calm words, like 'I feel angry because…' instead of yelling or saying something unkind. Calm words help people understand me.
When I talk with respect, people feel respected, and they are more likely to help me. I am learning to use kind words and a calm voice.
