5.CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE

CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE
a poem by Dorothy Law Nolte


GUESS THE EXPRESSIONS MISSING AND FILL IN THE BLANKS:

 



Children Learn What They Live
By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.


If children live with criticism, ....................................
If children live with hostility, ...................................
If children live with fear, .....................................
If children live with pity, ..........................................
If children live with ridicule, .....................................
 

they learn to fight.
they learn to feel shy.
they learn to be apprehensive.
they learn to feel sorry for themselves. 
they learn to condemn.


If children live with jealousy, ............................
If children live with shame, ..............................
If children live with encouragement, ...........................
If children live with tolerance, ..............................
If children live with praise, ...............................

they learn appreciation.

they learn confidence.

they learn patience.

they learn to feel envy.

they learn to feel guilty.

 

If children live with acceptance, .............................
If children live with approval, ...........................
If children live with recognition, ...............................
If children live with sharing, ................................
If children live with honesty, ...............................

they learn it is good to have a goal.

they learn generosity. 

they learn to love.

they learn to like themselves.

they learn truthfulness.


If children live with fairness, ...................................
If children live with kindness and consideration, ................
If children live with security, .................................
If children live with friendliness, .................................

 

they learn respect.

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

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

they learn justice.
