I don’t know why, but the first thing that came to me was this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Goodbye-Whining-Complaining-Attitudes-Your/dp/0877883548/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474247037&sr=8-1&keywords=say+goodbye+to+whining+complaining+and+bad+attitudes+in+you+and+your+kids

Don’t ask me why, God just put this on my heart.  I learned about this book from this site and it has helped me and my family so much.

The second book that comes to mind is:

https://www.amazon.com/Boundaries-Kids-Children-Control-Their/dp/0310243157/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474247121&sr=8-1&keywords=boundaries+with+kids

The reason I reference these two books is because when I think of respect I think one of two things.  Not enough honor in a family (treating each other as special; book #1) or not enough discipline (boundaries that are needed so kids respect you; book #2).

Without knowing the ‘dynamic’ of your household…it is hard to say where the disrespect comes from.  What I have found out in my own parenting, is it usually starts with the parent.:-(  Charlotte Mason talks about habits…and you start to notice, that if you don’t have those fundamentals down in your home, that the rest does not fall into place easily.

Maybe look over the habits and see if there are a few that ‘ring a bell’ in your heart, that need to be worked on.  Basically, go back to the basics.

I too, have had to circle around and re-focus on certain areas that I felt were not developing well.  We all have these moments!  Parenting is not for the faint of heart!

I pray you find answers.  God will show you; maybe through this site, maybe through a book, and definitely through honest prayer!

Blessings!
