If a child.....

[hippie37]

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 fear, he learns to be apprehensive.

If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.


But if a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.


If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.

If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.

If a child lives with fairness, he learns about justice.

If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.

If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.


Children who live with acceptance and friendship, learn to find love in the world.


Don't forget, we're all just innocent children inside. Learn to connect with that inner child and show them tolerance, praise, fairness, security and approval and you too will find love in this world.

It starts with loving yourself for who you are; not who you think you are, or who you think you ought to be. Just be.

Love and Light

I've never heard it before - it's fantastic...especially being the busy Mum of 2 beautiful, small, boistrous, sometimes frustrating boys!
