    My personal favourite, I have this as my work ethos in my planning book!

    CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE by Dorothy Law Nolte
    Children learn what they live.
    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 guilt.
    BUT,
    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 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.
