What Respect means to Alan Thicke

Actor and songwriter, Alan Thicke tells us what RESPECT means to him and the best part of being a dad.

"Respect: Being a parent requires us to raise the bar on our own game to be sure we're the best role models we can be. Working on ourselves to fulfill our career potential through admirable work ethic...'making it work' when it comes to relationships with families, neighbors, and co-workers...caring for the welfare of others when there's no obvious reward...all contribute to the images our children form of us. Respect for your job, for your mate, for your values, for yourself...all set the tone for the way you hope your child will live his or her life. They want to look up to us and say, 'That's the kind of Dad I want to be.' And what greater reward can a father ask!"
