Because it's like
Parents focusing on if their family looks good, if their kids are doing well, if they think they're doing it right, they're above others, that is the wrong mindset to walk into a school with.
Schools are communities.
They're not an individual place for you to, you, the customer, to go get your needs met, you know, pay for your services and walk out.
That's not gonna help our overall society.
And I do want to call people out on that.
Sure.
Well, you know, I am mom de True, who's a seven year old boy.
Um, and you know, we're based here in California.
And um my work now, um, it started, you know, when we met, you know, I was a journalist and wrote a book called Respect for Girls that was all about
you know, this idea that self-respect really needed to be the engine that we lived our life by if we wanted to thrive and, you know, have the out have positive outcomes.
And that since evolved, that work has evolved into a nonprofit called the Respect Institute, where we create research based tools.
For primarily for the adults working with what we call vulnerable youth, and we can describe that a little bit later.
You know, how can you nurture self-respect in youth?
How can you create environments where respect is the status quo or the aspiration, right?
And how do adults nurture self-respect in themselves?
Because that is really where the rubber hits the road.
So we we have adults, you know, whether it's through e-training or live training or we have an amazing toolkit, you know, we have adults take on this self-respect building process first.
And then we we have them bring it into schools, jails, uh youth organizations, that sort of thing.
Well, for our you know, word word nerds that are listening, um, you know, we we looked back and we we actually looked at the root meaning of the word respect.
