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 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 shame…

BUT

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

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

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 it is good to have a goal…

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

If a child lives with honesty, he learns what truth is . . .

If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice . . .

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

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

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