~ Children Learn What They Live ~
– If a child lives with criticism it learns to condemn.
– If a child lives with hostility it learns to fight.
– If a child lives with ridicule it learns to be shy.
– If a child lives with shame it learns to feel guilty.
– If a child lives with tolerance it learns to be patient.
