If children live with
criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to
fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be
apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel
sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel
shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel
envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel
guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn
confidence.
If children live with fairness, they
learn justice.
If children live with security, they learn
have faith.
If children live with tolerance, they learn
patience.
If children live with praise, they learn
appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to
love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like
themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is
good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn
generosity.
If children live with acceptance and friendship, they learn
to find love in the world.
Dorothy Law Nolte.
I read this poem over and over again. Imagine a world where children live free from fear, when they grow up, they would impact the same to their children and the world would be a better place indeed!
Thank you for reading my post dear friends.
