When children live with criticism, They learn to condemn.

When children live with hostility, They learn to fight.

When children live with ridicule, They learn to be shy.

When children live with shame, They learn to feel guilty.

When children live with tolerance, They learn to be patient.

When children live with encouragement, They learn confidence.

When children live with security, They learn to have faith.

When children live with fairness, They learn justice.

When children live with praise, They learn to appreciate.

When children live with approval, They learn to like themselves.

When children live with acceptance and friendship, They learn to find LOVE in the world.
