My answer, and the reason I don’t stress out about these things too much, is that parents should start teaching their children these things at birth and their children will respond when they are ready.

Caregivers of elderly have to do many of the same tasks as those of us who care for children, but most elderly can communicate more clearly.

There's no reason to NOT treat our little ones with respect and kindness just because they're littles. In fact, it's all the more reason to go out of your way to be gentle and patient. They'll end up paying it forward without even realizing it when they play and interact with other kids and adults and show that there is a different way. It’s all about respect.
