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If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy and withdrawn.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.

Connie told her 3-year-old grandson, Dean, not to jump on the beds. After several warnings she punished him, explaining that should he fall, he would hurt himself badly. Several minutes passed and he was found jumping from one bed to the other.
Connie's friend said, "Dean, you weren't jumping on the beds again, were you?"
He stood before her with his little head dropped low and said, "I'm trying so hard to quit."
“We're not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be”
- C.S Lewis
