What a Child Learns

A child who lives with criticism learns to condemn.
A child who lives with hostility learns to fight.
A child who lives with ridicule learns to be shy.
A child who lives with shame learns to feel guilty.
A child who lives with tolerance learns to be patient.
A child who lives with praise learns to appreciate.
A child who lives with fairness learns justice.
A child who lives with acceptance and friendship, learns to find love in the world.
