CHILDREN LEARN HOW TO LIVE

If a child lives with criticism, The child learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, The child learns to fight
If a child lives with ridicule, The child learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame, The child learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with encouragement, The child learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise, The child learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness, The child learns justice.
If a child lives with security, The child learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval, The child learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, The child learns to find love in the world.
