This is the type of shit written by people that don't have children and haven't spent much time around them. Children aren't blank slates that you mold into whatever you want. They have their own personalities. Some kids are just assholes despite having good parents.
I’m in partial agreement. Children aren’t programmable but they are impressionable. They will mimic your behavior towards people so if you treat everyone with respect it will be their impulse to do it as well. If you reinforce that with talking about why it’s important and correct them at the time they fail to do so then they will most likely carry the habit through adulthood.
That being said I believe it has to be respect for everyone. Not just “you’re a kid and I’m an adult so you will show me respect by listening to me like I’m God” which I think is horseshit.
