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 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 to CONFIDENCE,
If a child lives with PRAISE, he learns to APPRECIATE,
If a child lives with FAIRNESS, he learns to 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……
