Permanent head damage.... lol 😄

I agree on so many points! As parents, our children deserve our attention. And they learn respect through example. Respect must be commanded, not demanded. No one is doing their child a favor by not teaching them respect. Respect can take you far in life.

I also agree that a child's success should never be measured by another child's success. Part of learning respect, is learning to respect themselves. If they can't live up to some other child's success, they may never learn to respect themselves. If they do respect themselves, they'll do their best, and if they are doing their best they deserve praise, not comparisons.
