This series gives young students the tools they need to build respect for themselves, for others and for their environment in the home, school and community.


101. Respecting Yourself
This program gives students a starting point by helping them to gain respect for their own self-worth as well as their own value systems. Students are encouraged to accept the things about themselves that they can't change and to have pride in their uniqueness.

102. Respecting Others
This program explores the simple rule of respecting others--treating other people the way you would want to be treated.

103. Respecting Your World
Caring for the environment is this program's theme. Students are asked to consider how they can show respect for their surroundings and make them better. The program widens students' perspectives from their own homes to their schools, their towns, and their planet.
