With a tip of the hat to Aretha Franklin, Exchange is proud to announce its newest offering, Respect: A Practitioner's Guide to Calm & Nurturing Infant Care & Education by Toni Christie from New Zealand.  Christie defines respect as follows:

"Respect is the key to relationships.  When you show consideration for another person, you communicate to them that they are valued.  Feeling valued contributes to a sense of trust and self-esteem and is reflected in the individual's ability to form and maintain relationships with others.  

"A culture of respect in your early childhood centre will mean that interactions between teachers and children are respectful and reciprocal.  It will mean that teachers in the team show respect for one another and also that teachers and parents communicate and act respectfully."
