Come into the woods....
If a child lives with encouragement
He learns self-confidence.
If a child lives with praise
He learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness
He learns justice.
If a childs lives with approval
He learns to like himself.
If a child lives with security
He learns to have faith.
If a child lives with critism
He learns to condem.
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 jealousy
He learns to feel guilty.
But if a child lives with tolerance
He learns to be patient.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship
He learns to find love in the world.
