The most important thing parents can do is show their children respect and give them a safe space to express themselves on any topic. Not only does this teach children how to respect themselves, it also teaches them to respect others.

When we come from a place of respect, no matter what the subject or who is on the receiving end, we can't go wrong.

Thanks for sharing this. Wish I'd had such a great mum as you are. I can't even begin to imagine the incredibly positive impact that would have had on my life.
