The document discusses how a child's upbringing shapes their development and lessons learned. It states that if a child lives with criticism they will learn to condemn, but should instead learn to appreciate; if a child faces hostility they will learn to fight, but should learn to forgive; and that the way to shape a child is with encouragement, praise, security and acceptance so they can find love and have confidence in themselves. It concludes that parents must first learn these lessons themselves before teaching them to children.
