EXCELLENT POEM!!!


So true....


And what happens when children live with Negativity....or Depression....or Lazy parents.....or Gossipy parents.....or in a household full of arguments....or with parents who don't strive to be better...oh wait, that would be laziness again.....etc


Children learn what they see.

I came accross this poem and I thought that I would share it with you guys.  Since many of you are parents I thought that you guys would like it, and I'm sure that many of you have already heard of this poem


 


CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE


If children live with criticism,


they learn to condemn.


If children live with hostility,


they learn to fight.


If children live with fear,


they learn to be apprehansive.


If children live with pity,


they learn to feel sorry for themselves.


If children live with ridicule,


they learn to be shy.


If children live with jealousy,


they learn what envy is.


If children live with shame,


they learn to feel guilty.


If children live with tolerence,


they learn to be patient.


If children live with encouragement,


they learn to be confident.


If children live with praise,


they learn to appreciate.


If children live with approval,


they learn to like themselves.


If children live with acceptance,


they learn to find love in the world.


If children live wiith recognition,


they learn to have a goal.


If children live with sharing,


they learn to be generous.


If children live with honesty and fairness,


they learn what truth and justice are.


If children live with security,


they learn to have faith in themselves and those around them.


If children live with friendliness,


they learn that the world is a nice place in which to live.


If children live with serenity,


they learn to have peace of mind.


With what are your children living?
