Be respectful listen Kids story to learn respect parents and peers not being rude manners

the boy who always talks back max was clever boy he always had something to say whether it was good idea or not if his mom asked him to clean his room Max would cross his arms and huff I'm not cleaning it why should it's not fair if his dad called him to breakfast Max would groan don't want that for breakfast wanted pancakes at school things were just as drama itic when his teacher asked him to be quiet Max would shout why do you always pick on me wasn't even talking and if his friends wanted to play game that wasn't exactly what Max had in mind he'd say don't want to play that want to play my game not yours at first it felt kind of powerful Max thought he was in control throwing his words around like he was the king of the world but the more he talked back the more people seemed fed up with him one morning Max's mom asked him to put away his toys and Max didn't like that one bit ug don't want to he groaned his mom gave him that serious look you know the one but Max didn't care he stomped his foot and muttered you're always bossing me around his mom sighed her shoulder slumping Max if you keep talking like that it's going to hurt our feelings but Max didn't care after all what did it matter if he was little rude he felt better when he let it out right later that afternoon Max went outside to play with his friends he ran up to them full of energy and demanded let's play my game but his friends just stared at him for second then Shrugged and said nah we're going to play something else Max blinked what that didn't happen he was Max people didn't say no to him but there they were walking away Max stared after them blinking in confusion but I'm the one who knows how to play all the fun games he grumbled why don't they like me that evening Max called his dog Buster to come inside but Buster didn't come Max stomped his foot Buster come here right now but instead of wagging his tail and rushing over Buster turned and trotted off toward the bushes completely ignoring Max Max gaped in disbelief why does everyone ignore me what's going on feeling very annoyed Max went back inside and tried to talk to his mom but she just gave him tired smile and said okay Max let's try to do better tomorrow Max didn't feel like doing better in fact he was starting to feel kind of grumpy why didn't anyone ever just listen to him was he really that bad that night Max fell into deep sleep and what sleep it was boy was it strange One Max woke up in world that looked nothing like his room everything around him seemed to bounce and jiggle like jelly the trees were swaying like they had too much coffee and the sky was swirling mix of purple and orange Max thought he was dreaming but it felt so real he opened his mouth to say something and boing the words shot out like rubber balls don't want to do this he yelled and the words bounced right back at him hit his hand boom Max stumbled back he tried to run but the words came faster and harder bouncing off the ground like they had mind of their own don't want to clean my room Max yelled thinking maybe he could get away from them Max tried to dodge them but it was like being trapped in giant angry word machine the more he yelled the more the words came back at him they didn't just bounce they seemed to be multiplying like some sort of giant word monster hate this Splat I'm not doing it bam you never listen to me zap each word hit him harder than the last one and he found himself covered in pile of bouncing Angry Words he could hardly breathe this is horrible he cried out why does this keep happening just as Max thought he might get buried under the word Avalanche figure appeared it was wise old owl perched on near by tree the owl blinked at him and said max do you see what happens when you throw your words around carelessly Max blinked back at the owl yeah they hurt me the owl nodded exactly words are powerful when you speak with anger and frustration they come back at you they don't just affect other people they affect you too Max was confused but didn't mean to hurt anyone he said rubbing his head was just saying what felt the owl smiled gently sometimes Max when we speak without thinking we create chaos around us but when we choose our words carefully when we speak with kindness and respect we can create peace Max stared at the owl slowly The Bouncing words began to disappear they didn't pop or explode instead instead they just vanished like they were never there Max felt sense of calm wash over him Max woke up Suddenly with start his heart racing from the dream he sat up in bed blinking in the quiet morning light was it just dream it felt so real his mom walked in just then good morning Max she said smiling brightly how did you sleep Max looked at her still thinking about the strange dream Mom had the weirdest dream there were these words bouncing all over the place hitting me and realized was the one causing it his mom raised an eyebrow amused that sounds like wild dream what happened Max took deep breath well every time said something rude or yelled at someone my words came back at me they hit me and it hurts and then realized was making everything worse with my words not better his mom nodded thoughtfully sounds like that dream taught you something important Max's face lit up yeah think it was trying to show me that when talk back or say mean things it doesn't just hurt others it hurts me too never realized how powerful words are until they came flying back at me like like thousand angry boomerangs his mom smiled warmly sitting down beside him that's great way to put it when we use words carelessly they can come back to hurt us but when we use kind and respectful words we create better relationships with the people around us and with ourselves Max thought about this don't want to make things worse anymore mom want to be more care careful with my words want to make people feel better not worse his mom gave him big hug I'm proud of you Max it's not always easy but know you can do it that morning Max was asked to clean his room normally he would have groaned and complained but this time he looked around then said okay Mom don't really want to but know it needs to be done can we do it together later his mom grinned that sounds like great plan Max later when Max went outside to play he smiled and said can join your game guys his friend smiled back and said of course Max let's play and when Max called Buster to come inside he said softly come here boy this time Buster came running wagging his tail Max smiled to himself this felt good his words were no longer bouncing back at him they were connecting him with people and even his dog from that day forward Max was careful with the words he spoke he knew they had the power to make people feel good or bad and he chose to use them wisely no more bouncing words no more hurtful things just kind respectful words that made the world little brighter for everyone in including himself the end
