Children learn what they live...

At the Social Good Brazil seminar

As the Social Good Brazil seminar is taking place this week, I thought it appropriate to remind us all that we are role models for our children. 

He is a little poem to inspire us to raise happy children for the world.

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.

If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.

If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy.

If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.

If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient.

If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.

If children live with praise, they learn to appreciate.

If children live with fairness, they learn justice.

If children live with security, they learn to have trust.

If children approval, they learn to like themselves.

If children live with acceptance and friendship, they learn to find love in the world.
