Children Learn What They Live......

I was truly blessed while I was growing up. My father would sing this song to me.

BORN FREE



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.

If a child lives with charity he learns to give

If a child lives with compassion he learns to have mercy

If a child lives with love he learns to have grace.

If a child lives with truth he learns integrity.

If a child lives with freedom from belief he remains free.

If a child lives with equality he is equalised.

If a child lives with honour he learns to treat everyone as sacred.

A child can never receive too much love.....
