THE CHILD
By Rosemary (Mariam) Al-Attar

The child who lives with CRITICISM learns to CONDEMN;
the child who lives with HOSTILITY learns to FIGHT;
the child who lives with RIDICULE learns to be SHY;
the child who lives with SHAME learns to feel GUILTY;
But
the child who lives with TOLERANCE learns to be PATIENT;
the child who lives with ENCOURAGEMENT learns CONFIDENCE;
the child who lives with PRAISE learns to APPRECIATE;
the child who lives with FAIRNESS learns JUSTICE;
the child who lives with SECURITY learns to have FAITH;
the child who lives with APPROVAL learns to LIKE HIMSELF;
the child who lives with ACCEPTANCE and FRIENDSHIP learns to find LOVE in the world.
