Do Children Deserve Respect?

Tina Allen argues that it is imperative that children know they are loved and cherished. She claims that without it how are  the values to be passed on to our children. Allen develops this claim by first explaining how it is difficult to trust others if you do not trust yourself. Allen urges that it is the very early years where we can most greatly impact how children learn to trust and respect. Lastly the author says take a moment and watch your child for communication indicating their comfort. Tina Allen's purpose  is to inform the caregiver that it is important  to interact  with the child in order to improve the child's overall trust, respect, and growth.
