Children Learn What They Live
By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

hey thanks! ang ganda cat! i post ko rin kaya sa kitchen namin for my children to read everytime they eat..hehe!!
ReplyDeleteI agree completely, thanks. Kaya sira ang ulo ng mga anak ko.
ReplyDeleteganda nito..bablikan ulit!
ReplyDeleteteka nga muna..*re-reads lines*..anong line dito ang applicable sa "craziness" ng mga anak ni Jack? ano?.....hmmm..baka naman...."If children live with Jack..they learn to...<insert line here?"
ReplyDeleteLOL..kidding Jack, kidding lang!
glad you like...para sa mga parents and all those who love and deal with children....good luck!
ReplyDeleteJoke lang rin, Cat. My kids are out of the house since two years.
ReplyDeletewala namang empty nest syndrome?
ReplyDeleteSa umpisa medyo malunkot. Pero ngayon, okay na. Pag binibisita kami nila Paco at Marisa masaya din. Pag alis, okay din. Ngayon andito si Marisa from Berlin. Gusto rin daw makita yung Stomp-show. Kaya babalikan ko mamayang gabi. I hope they still have tickets.
ReplyDeletethe nice thing about having children out of your home, is that when they get married and you have grandchildren...its easier that time around..kc as grandparents, pang spoil lang nga mga apo ang gagawin nyo...yung discipline sa parents na..hehehe
ReplyDeleteI hope you all have a stomping good time sa show!
Thanks. Pag mag ka apo ako, pa i-inumin ko sila ng COKE.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this, Cat. I think it is a great idea to have this posted where children and their parents can see it everyday, like yours did. It did its job well with you!
ReplyDeleteAs for Jack's kids, I think what he means is that his children are self-confident and well-adjusted enough to be freely "sira ang ulo". =)
I also grew up with this ...I have to thank the General for it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good guide for parents, and that was what I thought as a child growing up. If my parents would fail me then, I found consolation in the knowledge that I could try to be a better parent myself. It helped me so much to understand them, thinking that they may have had it hard with their own parents and just did the best way they knew how...reading this, I felt a greater responsibility towards my own children.
the rush of emotions growing up move me now...
thanks Cat!!!!
Another good place to post this - above the computer monitor.
ReplyDeleteRight, BNK, seeing that children nowadays spend a lot of their time in front of a computer screen. It has replaced the television in many ways.
ReplyDeleteI'd change this poem to: "ADULTS Learn What They Live" and replace the word children with adults. It'll still be as effective, if not more. Thanks for the post Cat.
ReplyDeleteHehe, korek ka na naman dyan, BNK! =) Mas madalas pa nga, it is the children who pull us back to our basic values.
ReplyDeleteHow true, indeed.
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome....
ReplyDeletepeople do say one understands the parents' plight or point of view when one becomes a parent also...but having godchildren has made me appreciate the difficulty and the joy in raising kids...
to all those who have raised their kids and are confident enough to let them loose in this wide world with all its challenges..I salute you!
Ang masasabi ko lang: I wish I knew better when we started having children. I know the times where we went wrong. I am thankful for the times when we were more resolute with what we thought was right. Kids are people and each of them are unique, with different responses and receptivity, with different sensitivities and fears, with different maturity and intellectual growth. OC that I am (or was), I am wont to ask: teka, saan pa ba pwede linisin? Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteLOL...
ReplyDeletestill though, I would think it would detract from the challenge of raising children if you had a complete and perfect guidebook on how to raise them (may checklist, may test, may refresher course, may certification pa?)
...along with their genes, and the environment they lived in...as parents you are doubly more blessed if you know you did your best with them, but that most of all you gave them all the love you had in you and know that they have the right too to make mistakes and learn from them..
Ang husay ng sinabi mo Cat. Ready ka nang maging parent, sa palagay ko.
ReplyDeleteBNK, thank you po..pero..tribute ko yung statement na yon sa parents ko...di ako pwede maging parent..isip-bata pa ako, really!
ReplyDeleteOr shouldn't it be - mukhang bata pero wisdom ng matanda?
ReplyDeleteah...yan ang particular trait we all share sa group natin dito sa Multiply...it takes one to know one pala!
ReplyDeleteaaaaawww, cat, feeling ko sana baby uli mga anak ko, tung tipong simula uli :((
ReplyDeletePwede ka namang magsimula uli. Tanong mo si Ronald.
