If A Child
This poem was given to me when my children were very young. The verses contain great advice for all parents and are reminders for the example we all need to live. The wisdom in this poetry applies to both baby boys and girls. And the baby boy name really does not make any difference in how a child lives....how a child lives is the example that we as adults set.Poet: Dorothy Law Nolte
If a child lives with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If a child lives with tolerance, they learn patience.
If a child lives with sharing, they learn generosity.
If a child lives with security,
If a child lives with criticism,
they learn to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility,
they learn to fight.
If a child lives with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If a child lives with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If a child lives with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If a child lives with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If a child lives with encouragement,
they learn confidence.
If a child lives with praise, they learn appreciation.
If a child lives with acceptance, they learn to love.
If a child lives with approval,
they learn to like themselves.
If a child lives with recognition,
they learn it is good to have a goal.
If a child lives with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If a child lives with fairness,
they learn justice.
If a child lives with kindness and consideration,
they learn respect.
they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If a child lives with friendliness,
they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.
