We've officially entered into the month of February. This month, we're talking all about RESPECT. Our definition of respect for the older kids is "showing others they are important by what you say and do". To simplify it for the preschool kiddos, we're defining respect as "I am loved and can love others". Showing respect is vital in the ability to communicate effectively and work well with others, whether it's your friends, family, peers, coworkers, employees or boss.
