Introduction

The inspiration to write this book comes from my work as a Counsellor. Within my work, I witness many couples and individuals who are struggling with life and appear angry or unhappy, with conflict in both their personal and professional lives.

I believe we are at a critical point with issues such as rudeness, bullying, relationship breakdown, violence, alcohol and drug abuse.

What is happening today within our communities is frightening for many. I look at my three little grandchildren and wonder what their future will be like. My eldest granddaughter has just started school and I am thinking about whether she will be targeted by bullies.

This is NOT what I should be thinking. It is a milestone in this beautiful little girl’s life, with the right to an education and the right to feel safe! I want her to be safe. I want my grandchildren’s world to be safe, respectful and loving.

I feel concerned about our future and Society's inability to 'get along with one another'. A change in our behaviour is needed.

I think many people have become increasingly aware of the loss of, or the lack of, RESPECT in society, but what are we doing about it?

We need to restore the importance of RESPECT to create a better world! Self-Respect, Respect for Others, Respect for Property and Respect for Authority.

The Respect Challenge has begun and we invite you
