Respect is a daily necessity, just like breathing. Everyone has value, regardless of their status or achievements. Every person makes a difference, and that difference makes the world a better place.
Even if we have different opinions, we should try to understand others’ perspectives. For instance, if someone enjoys a game you don’t, take the time to understand why they might like it instead of immediately disagreeing.
Ways to show respect include listening when someone talks and saying “please” and “thank you”. Even small actions, like smiling or not interrupting someone, make a big difference.
Respect is about seeing everyone’s worth and acting kindly, even when it’s hard.

I have a little brother named Isaac. He is six years old.
He is a hardworking kid. After he finishes his homework, he always studies. Sometimes when he doesn’t know how to do his homework, I will teach him.
Isaac always plays Chinese chess with me, even though he doesn’t like it. He also enjoys playing video games and Pokémon cards with me.
But sometimes he is bad, because when I play video games, he snatches them away from me.

The fennec fox has big, cute ears that look funny on its small body. It has sand-coloured fur that helps it hide from predators in the desert.
Fennec foxes play in the sand and jump around with lots of energy, listening carefully for insects and other small animals.
They live in family groups, and their babies are called kits. It’s sweet to see the kits play and learn from their parents.
What’s amazing is that these foxes can live without drinking water for a long time! They get hydrated from the insects and plants they eat. This is how they survive in the desert.
