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 lives with ridicule
He learns shyness
If a child lives with shame
He learns guilt
If a child lives with tolerance
He learns patience
If a child lives with encouragment
He learns confidence
If a child lives with praise
He learns appreciation
If a child lives with fairness
He learns justice
If a child lives with security
He learns faith
If a child lives with approval
He learns acceptance
If a child lives with love,
He learns love!
