I’m sure you’ve seen the following. From what I can gather it originates from a woman named Dorothy Law Nolte. There have been various modifications made to it, but the message is still the same.
If a child lives with criticism, she learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule she learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame he learns to be guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance she learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement he learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise she learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness he learns justice.
If a child lives with security she learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval he learns to like herself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship
she learns to find love in the world.
Clearly, all of this works in the adult work also. What do those living around me experience? That’s worth thinking about.
