Children Learn What They Live
by Dorothy Law Neite 

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 learns to feel 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. 
He 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.

What is my child learning?  I hope it is found in the passage above.
