Children should never call an adult by their first name because it teaches them to respect their elders.  [/quote]

But many of us don’t actually care if ours kids “respect their elders” in the sense pf deferong to adults just because they are adults.  I want my kids to respect all people by treating them kindly and compassionately, but I suspect you mean respect as in “obey without question” and I don’t think of that as a positive trait.[/quote]

If I tell your kid not to run out in the street, he doesn't listen and then gets hurt or killed, then you blame yourself.  This is why children need to learn to listen to adults and have to have respect for them:. SAFETY.

Obviously, you teach them not to interact with strangers and to tell you if they are touched inappropriately but they need to learn have respect for authority.  Your kid, no kid, is the equal of an adult.[/quote]

My kid should listen to me because he trusts me and has experienced that I have rules for a reason.  Not because I am taller than they are.[/quote]
