In the days I was sick, I realized something: those who don't respect you when you're ill or vulnerable don't deserve your attention or respect. It means they're just trying to use you, not collaborate. Respect is something else entirely.
Kid's kung fu class is switching from "Yes coach" to "Yes ma'am / sir."
I prefer "coach." It's gender neutral, and shows respect for the role.
I asked Coach about it. They said Shifu wanted to be more inclusive for outside class. Most of the adults the kids will want to be respectful to won't be "coaches." Their thinking is that sir/ma'am is more widely applicable.
While I can see the point, within class, I still think "Thank you for class coach" just works better.
Whether giving or receiving care, showing your appreciation for the other person’s efforts (no matter how great or small and no matter the results) will help both of you.

"Respect your fears: what the Mapuche approach to fear can teach us about transforming our biases and fighting prejudice.
When we further probed parents and elders about these beliefs, they told us that fear isn’t useful and shouldn’t be felt.
They argued that fear is debilitating and paralysing, and should be replaced with unconditional respect for all life."
