If
a child lives with criticism,
she learns to condemn.

If
a child lives with hostility,
he learns to fight.

If
a child lives with ridicule,
she learns to be shy.

If
a child lives with shame,
he learns to feel guilt.

If
a child lives with tolerance,
she learns to be patient.

If
a child lives with encouragement,
he learns confidence.

If
a child lives with praise,
she learns to appreciate.

If
a child lives with fairness,
he learns justice.

If
a child lives with security,
she learns to have faith.

If
a child lives with approval,
he learns to like himself.

If
a child lives with acceptance
and friendship, he or she learns
to find love in the world.
