you expect and feel confident and secure.

11. CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE
By Dorothy Law Nolte
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
ridicule,
he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with
shame,
he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with
tolerance,
he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with
encouragement,
he learns confidence.
If a child lives with
praise,
he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with
fairness,
he learns justice.
If a child lives with
security,
he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with
approval,
he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with
acceptance and
friendship,
he learns to find love in
the world.
