Respectful Love
(Estimate 1 hour to complete)
Respectful love is key. It speaks to the need to respect children as whole people and to encourage them to know their own voices. Children need the kind of love that sees them as legitimate beings, persons in their own right. Respectful love instills self-worth; its the prime nutrient in human development. Children need this not only from parents and caregivers, but from the whole community.
This is the foundational principle of Child Honouring.
In this module, we learn how to practice and embody this principle.
Here are our favourite resources to explore the principle of Respectful Love in more detail.
