Respect means valuing others and treating them fairly, but it’s often misunderstood as fear, blindly following rules, or just being polite. Today, social media conflicts, high expectations, and unclear boundaries can make practicing genuine respect challenging.
These Respect Worksheets help clients practice respect through self-reflection and real-life scenarios. The Showing Respect worksheet lets them explore respectful traits, decide how to treat different people, and think about whether certain actions really show respect. The Living Respectfully worksheet asks them to differentiate between respecting themselves and respecting others, and create a plan.
Kids and teens completing these worksheets will learn that respect is about making thoughtful choices in everyday interactions. Caring adults can support this learning by discussing their reflections and role-playing respectful responses.
These worksheets can be used alongside our All About Respect handout.
