Children Learn What They
Live
If children live with
hostility,
they learn to fight.
If children live with
ridicule,
they learn to be shy.
If children live with
tolerance,
they learn to be patient.
If children live with
encouragement,
they learn confidence.
If children live with
praise,
they learn to appreciate.
If children live with
fairness,
they learn justice.
If children live with
security,
they learn faith.
If children live with
approval,
they learn to like themselves.
If children live with acceptance,
and friendship,
they learn to find love in the world.
