How to Respect Your Elders? If there's an older person in your life, you may want to connect with them but aren't sure how to. Generally, showing respect and interest in an elder is the first step toward forming a meaningful connection. Respecting your elders is a great way to learn about your heritage, your family, and even who you are.
Offer to provide support. Elders often need some kind of support with simple day to day tasks. They may need help reading their mail, or they may need almost constant care due to health concerns. Begin by letting the elder in your life know that you would like to provide help. Don’t make assumptions about what the person needs or wants. Always ask before providing any kind of help. If you don’t, the person may feel that you think they’re incompetent or don’t respect them. You can say something like, “Grandmother, I know you may not need it, but if you’d like some help around the house or running errands, I’d love to do that for you.”
