Dorothy Law Nolte:

"A CHILD"

 

 

If a child lives with criticism - it learns to condemn.

If a child lives with hostility - it learns to fight.

If a child lives with ridicule - it learns to be shy.

If a child lives with shame - it learns to feel guilty.

If a child lives with tolerance - it learns to be patient.

If a child lives with encouragement - it learns confidence.

If a child lives with praise - it learns to appreciate.

If a child lives with fairness - it learns justice.

If a child lives with security - it learns to have faith.

If a child lives with approval - it learns to like itself.

If a child lives with acceptance and friendship - it learns to find love in the world.
