Respecting Authority
Episode 17
Friday, 5 June, 2026

In this episode, Connie and Christy discuss the importance of teaching children to respect authority figures like teachers, coaches, and leaders, starting with practical habits in the early years such as making eye contact, using appropriate titles, and listening with both eyes and ears. They emphasize that respect must be modeled by parents first and rooted in the understanding that all people are valued and precious, while also teaching kids how to respectfully disagree or say no when necessary. The hosts highlight how these early foundations of respect translate into how teenagers interact with authority and each other, ultimately shaping their character and setting them apart as they enter adulthood and the workforce.
