CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE
 

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 fear,
 he learns to be apprehensive.
 

If a child lives with pity,
 he learns to feel sorry for himself.
 

If a child lives with ridicule,
 he learns to be shy.

If a child lives with jealousy,
 he learns what envy is.
 

If a child lives with shame,
 he learns to feel guilty.
 

If a child lives with encouragement,
 he learns to be confident.
 

If a child lives with tolerance,
 he learns to be patient.
 

If a child lives with praise,
 he learns to be appreciative.
 

If a child lives with acceptance,
 he learns to love.
 

If a child lives with approval,
 he learns to like himself.
 

If a child lives with recognition,
 he learns that it is good to have a goal.
 

If a child lives with sharing,
 he learns about generosity.
 

If a child lives with honesty and fairness,
 he learns what truth and justice are.
 

If a child lives with security,
 he learns to have faith in himself and in those about him.
 

If a child lives with friendliness,
 he learns that the world is a nice place in which to live.
 

If you live with serenity,
 your child will live with peace of mind.
 

With what is your child living?
