The girls peditrician in Massachusetts had this sign in his exam rooms.I remember sitting there reading it and thinking what a good sign it was. Tonight I have been looking on the internet for inspirational thoughts to try and make myself a better person,wife,mother,and friend.I came across this and thought maybe some of you would like it as much as I do.To me it is just so true.
A child learns ...
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 tolerance, he learns to be patient;
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy;
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.

I really do like what you wrote, it is such good food for thought. As you find things on your quest to growing to be a better person (I'm proud of you), I hope you will keep sharing what you find! Love Mom
ReplyDeleteI love this! I get sent this kind of thing from time to time, and hand it on my desk from time to time. Which, eventually gets covered with drawings and notes from the kids! What a wonderful thing to post and share. I have never seen this one, and I too am always trying to improve myself as a mother and to be a better person. I will share what I find too! Keep sharing!
