“ Children Learn What They Live ”

If a child lives with cricism,

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 to feel guilt…

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 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.

With what is your child living?
