Hi there! We’re Ryan and Craig, and we’re so excited to share a fun story with you today. We have lots of amazing stories and cool things on our website, so be sure to check them out. You can even chat with us or send us a special message!
Today, we’re reading a book called “Respect.” It’s all about a song by Otis Redding, and the pictures are drawn by Rachel Moss. Let’s dive into the story!
Respect is a big word that means treating others nicely and valuing them. When you respect someone, you listen to them and care about their feelings. It’s like giving them a big hug with your actions!
Respect is important because it makes everyone feel happy and loved. When you show respect, you make your friends and family feel special. It’s like giving them a little gift every day!
Here are some fun ways to show respect:
Even a tiny bit of respect can make a big difference. When you respect others, they feel good, and they might even show respect back to you. It’s like a happy circle of kindness!
Here’s a fun idea! You can make a “Respect Sock Gift” for a friend. Put a small gift or a nice note inside a sock, tie it up, and give it to them. It’s a fun way to show you care!
Always remember, showing respect is like giving a little bit of sunshine to everyone around you. It makes the world a brighter and happier place!
Thanks for joining us for story time. We hope you enjoyed learning about respect. See you next time!
Respect Detective: Go on a “Respect Detective” mission at home or in your classroom. Look for examples of respect in action. Can you spot someone listening carefully, using kind words, or helping others? Draw a picture or write a short story about what you found. Share your findings with your family or classmates and talk about how these actions made people feel.
Respectful Role Play: With a friend or family member, act out different scenarios where you can show respect. For example, pretend one of you is upset and the other is listening and comforting them. Or, imagine you’re sharing toys and taking turns. After each role play, discuss how it felt to give and receive respect.
Respectful Art: Create a “Respect Poster” using drawings, magazine cutouts, or stickers. Include pictures of people showing respect, like helping someone or saying “thank you.” Hang your poster in a place where everyone can see it and be reminded of the importance of respect every day.

What you want, baby, I got what you need. Do you know I’ve got it?
All I’m asking for is a little respect when you come home. Just a little bit.
Hey baby, when you get home, just a little respect goes a long way.
Respect, that’s all we’re asking.
I won’t do you wrong while you’re gone because I don’t want to. All I’m asking for is a little respect.
When you come home, just a little bit.
I’m about to give you all my money, and all I’m asking in return is just a little respect when you get home.
It should go without saying, but if I’m giving you all my money, all I’m asking for is a little respect.
Your kisses are sweeter than honey, and guess what? So is my money.
All I want you to do for me is give it to me when you get home.
Respect, just a little bit. Find out what it means to me.
There it is! You made us spell it out.
I really don’t understand why it’s so hard to respect another person. Honestly, they’re not asking for a lot.
We’ve stated many times that just a little bit goes a long way.
If I have to spell it out, it means you should give us just a little respect.

All you gotta do is just give a little respect.
I hope what we learned today is that the best way to give gifts is to put them in a sock, tie it up so they don’t come out, and give it to your friend.
And also, just give a little bit of respect. It goes such a long way!
