If children live with shame,

they learn to feel guilty.

they learn confidence.

they learn patience.


If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.


If children live with acceptance,

they learn to love.

My sweetie is writing a paper now on human development, using theory to explain her own past. Interesting that this professor puts the negatives first. I think that half the challenge is met if a small child (before age 4) believes that the world is fundamentally a friendly place. The negatives can be much more easily dismissed.
