If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn and be judgemental.
If children live with hostility, they learn to be angry and fight.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy and withdrawn.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty
If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient.
