Children Learn What They Live

This piece also came from the pamphlet I received at the hospital before taking Baby home and has been edited for poetic devices.

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 tolerance,
They learn to be patient.
If children live with encouragement,
They learn to be confident.
If children live with praise,
They learn to appreciate.
If children live with fairness,
They learn to be just.
If children live with security,
They learn to have faith.
If children live with approval,
They learn to like themselves.

If children live with acceptance and friendship,
They learn to find love in the world.
