Children Learn what they live - Dorothy Law Nolte

[mummy2Kaitlyn]

Found this little passage on a card in a gift shop when we were away ...I really love it and have it up on the fridge now!...I think if every parent had this poem it would make the world a much nicer place!

Children Learn what they live
If a child lives with criticism,
He learns to condem.
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 guilt.
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.

We had a copy of it on our fridge when I was growing up - so I made sure to print it out and a laminated copy is stuck on our fridge now as well! I LOVE the poem...
