Children Learn What They Live
If children live with criticism, They learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, They learn to fight.
If children live with ridicule, They learn to be shy.
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 to be patient.
If children live with praise, They learn to appreciate.
If children live with acceptance, They learn to love.
If children live with approval,
They learn to like themselves.
If children live with honesty, They learn truthfulness.
If children live with security,
They learn to have faith in themselves and others.
If children live with friendliness,
They learn the world is a nice place in which to live.
I truly believe in the thoughts and ideas portrayed in this poem that I keep near and dear to my heart. My mother, Linda Mae Dyche Hanekamp (1948-2005), was an amazing mother and teacher - this was a poem that she raised me by - and shows in how we teach in our classroom each today. Children do what we do, not what we say. We need to teach by example.
