Respect(尊重)is something often given to strangers, like politeness, but many people often forget to use it at home. Showing respect for family members needs more thoughts.

Show politeness. If politeness is good for strangers, it's good for home use as well. Remember to say "please" and "thank you", "hello" and "goodbye", "good morning" and "good evening". These are basic rules of etiquette, which can show your respect for family members when they are used in communication with them.

Defend your family members. There's no need to go out and cause trouble to protect your family. But when you're in public, watch what you say about your family members. When you face criticism(批评)from others, defend your family. After all, their bad habits have a bad effect on you too.

Give them space to grow up. Respect sometimes requires you to mind your own business; even at home. For example, respect your sister's choice of her boyfriend, even when you don't agree, by allowing her to make her own decisions and being there to support her when they don't have a happy ending. Skip the "I-told-you-so" out of respect for your sister and your family connection.

Keep communication. You don't have to agree with your family members to show them respect. Even though you don't agree with it, remember to respect a family member by continuing to communicate with that person. Once you have stated your own opinion, though, you may want to avoid the disagreeable subject.

If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different from each other. You live together in the same house and have the same parents, but you have different personalities.

Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you. First-born children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born than any other child. Parents usually give first-born more responsibility and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, first-borns are often responsible, hard-working, andjealous. They often want to do well at school and work. There are more first-born American Presidents, for example, George Bush, George Washington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson-than second or last-born children.

When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to compete with the first-born for the parents’ attention and love. Their children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family’s attention. They are often friendly and cool. Many famous talk-show hosts were born last.
