In terms of the respect thing......I think that respect for your own property is part of self-respect and respect for other people's property is pert of respecting other people.
I also think it's important for children to be aware that outside play and inside play aren't the same - screaming, running and jumping are all ok outside where the noise doesn't bounce off the walls but inside I prefer their behaviour to be a little more appropriate to the surrounds.
I'm not a big fan of having to child-proof my environment, I prefer to teach my children about appropriate behaviour and I trust them to be wise enough to understand and apply it. So we have lovely furniture that is not appropriate for jumping even if I was inclined to let them.
