If a child lives with criticism He learns to condemn,
If a child lives with hostility He learns to fight,
If a child leaves with ridicule He learns to be shy,
If a child lives with shame He learns to feel guilty,
If a child lives with tolerance He learns to be patient,
If a child lives with encouragement He learns confidence,
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,
