Respect is earned whether a parent or not, the same holds true with children/kids. I know a family that has three kids, no was the rebel, one became religious and the other is still in school. they all lead very very different paths, but a few things hold true. They respect there parent when they speak about them, even when disiplined, they have had to work for there property,clothing and the like, been able to make there own decisions and fall on there ass when mistakes were made and suffer the consquenses, and had an understanding of a religious upbringing but weren't forced into to it.
nothing was easy for them and as a result of this structure, they are respectful, trustworthy, very intelligent and not just book wise, and self sufficient.
I can go on, but my point is this, growth, maturity, respect and love comes first and foremost from a stable, balanced, consistant household where the parent/s do there job, which is to guide and build young minds and bodies.
