Children Learn What They Live

 If a child lives with criticism

                  He learns to condemn,

If a child lives with hostility
           He learns to fight,

If a child leaves with ridicule
                  He learns to be shy,

If a child lives with shame
                 He learns to feel guilty,

If a child lives with tolerance
                  He learns to be patient,

If a child lives with encouragement
                He learns confidence,

If a child lives with praise
                  He learns to appreciate,

If a child lives with fairness
               He learns justice,

If a child lives with security
                  He learns to have faith,

If a child lives with approval
                  He learns to like himself,

If a child lives with acceptance and friendship
                    He learns to find love in the world.
