The ability to respect others is a skill that will help your child forever. Children can learn that people are more alike than different, and that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness. ... They learn from the words they hear and what they see.
Depending on how we handle each others differences is what determines wether we are strong or week. If we respect and accept our differences we are stronger as a whole. However if we are not accepting and disrespectful towards those who have differences we are not so much weak as we are weak minded.

This is why it is important to always have a growth mindset so that you are open to change and are more accepting of the people around you.
