If children live with criticism, they will learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they will learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they will learn apprehension.
If children live with ridicule, they will learn to feel shy.
If children live with pity, they will learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with shame, they will feel guilty.
If children live with jealousy, they will learn envy.
If children live with encouragement, they will learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they will learn patience.
If children live with acceptance, they will learn to love.
If children live with approval, they will learn to like themselves.
If children live with honesty, they will learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they will learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they will learn respect.
If children live with security, they will learn to have faith in themselves and in those around them.
If children live with friendliness, they will learn that this world is a nice place to live in.
