CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE

Picture of Jesus with the children, prayer by Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.  If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.  If children live with ridicule they learn to feel shy.  If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.  If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.  If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.  If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.  If children live with fairness, they learn justice.  If children live with security, they learn to have faith,  If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
