Yes, it is amazing and very heartening to see kids understand and appreciate respect. They just behave differently when you tell them the pros and cons and then let them decide, rather than force them into something.
I spoke to Jazz a few days ago. She finished all three books of the Faraway Tree series and was excitedly discussing some of the characters over the phone. It was like listening to 8 year old Gurdas :-)

It touched my heart in many ways. First thing the lesson that was given to Jazz that giving is important and it brings happiness for both the parties involved.
Letting her choose what she wanted to give away would have made her realized that her space was not being trespassed and she was respected as an individual.
