Children Learn What They Live
by Dorothy Law Nolte
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn
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 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.
