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 fear he learns to be apprehensive…. If a child lives with pity he learns to feel sorry for himself…. If a child lives with jealousy he learns to feel guilty….
If a child lives with encouragement he learns to be confident…. If a child lives with tolerance he learns how to be patient…. If a child lives with praise he learns how to appreciate…. If a child lives with acceptance he learns to love…. If a child lives with approval he learns to like himself…. If a child lives with recognition he learns it is good to have a goal…. If a child lives with friendliness he learns the world is a nice place in which to live….
