Teaching Kids to Respect Others

Reflections, Activities & Prayers on Bullying and Prejudice

The epidemic of bullying and disrespecting others fills the news each day. In this excellent and important book, Kevin Dowd offers catechists and parents practical and prayerful ways to help our children learn about and deal with issues of respect, bullying, and prejudice. Among the topics he explores are caring for family, friends, classmates, teachers, people in other countries, people who are different, immigrants and refugees, the sick, and more.

Pflaum Publishing Group hosted a webinar with Kevin Dowd where he provided some practical ideas to get us started in the collaborative work of bringing an anti-racist approach to our work in faith formation.

It also includes a suggestion from the U.S. bishops on how to move forward together in the work of creating a more just and peaceful society, emphasize the importance of opportunities for family faith-sharing and prayer, and address the variety of learning methods that parishes are experiencing today.
