if a child lives with criticism
s/he learns to condemn
if a child lives with hostility
s/he learns to fight
if a child lives with ridicule
s/he learns to feel shy
if a child lives with shame,
s/he learns to feel guilty
if a child lives with tolerance,
s/he learns to be patient
if a child lives with encouragement,
s/he learns confidence
if a child lives with praise,
s/he learns to appreciate
if a child lives with fairness
s/he learns justice
if a child lives with security
s/he learns to have faith
if a child lives with approval
s/he learns to like himself
if a child lives with acceptance and friendship
s/he learns to find love in the world
