Children Learn What They Live
By Dorothy Law Nolte
"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."
Such a good reminder!
ReplyDeleteI just received the book you recommended 'creative prayer times'. Looks great! Can't wait to get started with some new ideas. I also bought the book '52 family time ideas'. Have you seen it. Looks really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, that's awesome! I will definitely look into that book. You know me and that I appreciate good book recommendations :) I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Creative Family Prayer Times book...which activities you and your family liked :)
