If you want your child to be ........., show him ..........
values like patience, empathy etc.,

These are meaningful poems. I like them.
Take A Child By The ...
Take a child by the hand,
and show him the way,
Lead a child each morning,
into a beautiful day.
Take a child by the mind,
and give him the strength,
To fight every challenge,
and go to great lengths.
Take a child by the soul,
and let God be known,
It is by his mighty grace,
that so big they have grown.
Take a child by his sight,
and show him wonders galore,
Teach him curiosity,
and the need to explore.
Take a child by his smile,
so beautiful and sweet,
And tell him of all,
the friends he will meet.
Take a child by his wonder,
of the life all around,
Let him savor each flavor,
and hear each new sound.
Take a child by his dreams,
and say it's all-right,
To follow those dreams,
as far as he might.
Take a child by the heart,
and teach them to love,
For there is no greater gift,
from our creator above,
And after your child has grown,
and alone they now stand,
Watch and enjoy as they take,
their children by the hand.

Children Learn What They Live
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

Yes, Iv'e seen that ages ago on a poster, something about 'show a child love and it will love and be loved, show a child anger and it will learn that all people are to be feared'. That is the gist of it, but I just can't remember word for word how it runs. Pls email me if you do get the whole thing.

this is usually found in Clinton cards on one of their 'inspirational' series from someone like Patience Strong

I believe it is
If you want your child to be patient, show him patience.
