April is blue for respect.Respect is to show polite regard and consideration. Respect is a feeling of admiring someone or something that is good, valuable, and important and should be treated a certain way. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect.
Cottage Lane’s book of the month, Pinduli, is a surprising story about self-image, self-acceptance, and treating others with respect. After reading, sharing and discussing this special book you will realize how a few tiny words – bad or good – can create something enormous!
Do you think that by hurting someone else’s feelings it made the animals who made Pinduli feel bad, feel better about themselves?

This month please practice respect toward others, adults and the Earth!
Being respectful to other people is very important because if you are not kind to people they will not treat you with respect. The golden rule is treat people the way you want to be treated. So if you are being disrespectful to someone, they may think “Why are you treating me disrespectfully? I have never treated you like that.” If it is your friend they may not want to be your friend anymore.
