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.
