"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 RIDICULE, he learns to be SHY. If a child lives with SHAME, he learns to FEEL GUILTY. If a child lives with ENCOURAGEMENT, he learns to be CONFIDENT. If a child lives with PRAISE, he learns to APPRECIATE. If a child lives with FAIRNESS, he learns JUSTICE. If a child lives with SECURITY, he learns to have FAITH. If a child lives with APPROVAL, he learns to LIKE HIMSELF. if a child lives with ACCEPTANCE and FRIENDSHIP, he learns to find LOVE in the world.
