3. being kind- even a simple hello can brighten someone's day.

4. respecting boundaries- "Usually, the most effective way to start a

relationship with a small child is to stand

back, be low-key, and let the child make

the first move when he or she feels

comfortable. The overzealous, effusive

adult too often scares off and

overwhelms the small child. Touching is

important in relating to the preschool

child, but it must be done on the child’s

terms." 13.2 understanding child development, cengage learning.
