TEEN SOUL POWER
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 guilty.
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 praise…
he learns to appreciate.
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.
