Why dear responders, would you respond to this question so negatively? Is there something wrong with the question? Is it unreasonable? Impolite? [ Reply | More

What if it wasn't intended to be 'slightly hippy-dippy sounding'? What if it was a serious question? That nobody has seen it that way yet is sad. What's wrong with honoring your children? [ Reply | More

Anything I could possibly say would be instantly preyed upon by most of you. Not interested in that. If you can't interpret the question, just press "stop watching" ok? [ Reply | More

I don't. I love him, try to teach him internal self-esteem and a million other things, but I wouldn't say I currently "honor" him. [ Reply | More

I wouldn''t say I "honor" anyone. I really don't get what you mean and wish you would explain instead of being so self-righteous about it. [ Reply | More

Just press "stop watching" so you don't have to think about self-righteousness, at least here. [ Reply | More

OP: To me it means seeing them for the creatively intelligent people they are, respecting their personhood as their own, recognizing them as essential members of the community and providing the fundamental nurturance they need in order to flourish. [ Reply | More
