RESPECTisms

Ken my 12 yr old son is currently reading your RESPECTisms book and he is really enjoying it. Additionally he likes the phrase about what education can do for you (he says that it comes to his mind every time he is sitting in the class room and feels like talking during a lesson).

"What a wonderful book a must read for all. As young people living in this society they need to be able to know adults are here for guidance, love, understanding and support what ever the case as they do have a voice (a positive voice at that as we know anything negative will be turn around to positive.) This book made my inner child come out to the for-front and what a emotional joy that was.

Well done to the Author Ken Barnes an inspiring positive man with knowledge,wisdom and determination a positive role model for all, may your inner love continue to grow."

"Many of our students lack motivation & self esteem. The Seven Principles of RESPECTisms sessions encouraged them to think and discuss within a group setting. I think it was a very powerful exercise and one that I would recommend we continue with."

"I really enjoyed The Seven Principles of RESPECtisms and will see if I can get my teenagers to read it too. I hope you are getting the commercial success it deserves."

"Ken, I am Paul Duvigneau (blind student) of Bromley College of Further & Higher Education and when you visited the College on the 4th December you kindly gave me a copy of the CD which accompanies your book. I have enjoyed it very much and listened to it so many times. My favorite characters in the book are Eddy and Emma.

This is a good book to recommend to a youngster to read for I feel it would encourage them in many different areas and to read books like this. I hope you will write many more books like this! I also reckon you’re a good speaker and encourage people to think in positive ways. It was nice meeting you and I hope to meet you in the future."

"I bought the book for my teenagers because like many parents I feel that lack of respect is an increasing problem in our society especially amongst our young people. This book draws you into the lives of seven characters and the thought provoking true to life situations they experience, each making decisions which affects their future lives.

I was so impressed with how my teenagers discussed this book afterwards and how the word "RESPECTisms" has become their new buzzword in a very positive way, that I decided to order the workbook and guide for them. It certainly encouraged animated discussion and made them think about how they react to situations in their own lives and what they stand for."

"I buy books all the time for my children and I decided to get this book for my teenage son and daughter. It seemed like the kind of book that would inspire them. The book has done far more than I expected, it has not only inspired them to think about their actions it has also led to some great family conversations about the principles and stories in the book. My wife and I have also read the book and have thoroughly enjoyed it as well. It is truly a book for all the family. Great stories that are easy to understand. We have now purchased the character building workbook and are using it with our children. This book is a must for your collection."
