Calendar of Events

Spend some time talking with your family about be-

ing respectful and how respect and disrespect is

shown in everyday situations. Encourage them to

talk about one of the following:

A friend borrows one of your toys and won’t re-

turn it. Is that friend being respectful? What

do you do?

You tell a friend a secret and he tells it to a

few other people. Is that friend being respect-

ful?

You’re at the monthly 4-H meeting; raise your

hand to make a comment and everyone listens

quietly while you talk. Are members of the 4-H

club being respectful? Are you re-

spectful when others are talking?

People who show high respect and

are considered a person of charac-

ter are those who: treat others

with respect, follow the Golden

Rule, be tolerant and accepting of

differences, use good manners, not

bad language, be considerate of

the feelings of others, don’t

threaten, hit or hurt anyone, deal

peacefully with anger, insults, and

disagreements.

Have members design a “GLURP”:

G = Something I’m GOOD at

L = Something I LIKE

U = Something I could do UMPTEEN times

R = Something I do to RELAX

P = Something I’m PROUD of

They can use art, words, or pictures. Allow the members to share

their GLURP with the group. Be sure the members speak loudly and

clearly and that the group is quiet and respectful as each person

shares his/her GLURP.

A Person of Respect

than good hair—like what kind of person you

are inside.”
