Children Learn What They Live

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.

If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.

If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.

If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with acceptance and friends, he learns to find in this world.
