CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE
by Dorothy Law Nolte, PhD
If children live with criticism,They Learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility,They learn to fight.
If children live with ridicule,They learn to be shy.
If children live with shame,They learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragment, They learn cofindence.
If children live with tolerance, They learn to be patient.
If children live with praise,They learn to appreciate.
If children live with acceptance,They learn to love.
If children live with approval,They learn to like themselves.
If children live with honesty,They learn truthfulness.
If children live with security, They learn to have faith in themselves and others.
If children live with friendliness,They learn the world is a nice place in which to live.
So remember this when you speak to your child, Heck everyone gets stressed out and tend to say things to their children that they don't mean,but just think of the damage you do

Hi, Yes, thought provoking it is. Wonderful words of wisdom. Don't you wish that every parent could have this posted in their home as a constant reminder? What a better world we would have if every child was brought up with these good qualities.

My thought is; does this Dorothy Law Nolte, PhD have any evidence to back these ascertains up, because some of them sound like a bunch of hooey.

Very thought provoking. I lived with shame and still feel all the guilt.

Oh yeah totally, it makes a lot of sense I have seen it happen. I am influenced greatly by my parents.

The sad thing about it is that we have to look this stuff up or have a "professional" tell us.

Yes, I've heard that. It's very true, but it applies to adults too.
