I found this poem, and I want to share it with you.
It struck a very personal cord in my heart, I hope that it touches you in some small way also!
<><><><><><><><>Inspiration from a Poem!<>
At Stepping Stones Childcare, here in Moreno Valley, California... we feel that this poem by Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D. says... it most excellently!
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 ridicule,
They learn to be shy.
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 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.
Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.
This is the author-approved short version.
