Children Learn What They Live

“Children Learn What They Live”

by Dorothy Law Nolte 

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 feelenvy. 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.

How Will I Say Goodbye to My Four-Year Old's BFF

Thinking about how my kids are going to handle the upcoming move in June. Heck, how am I going to handle it. I've made some amazing friends that I most likely won't see again. Living on base brings out the best in a community.

My daughter has her BFF next door. I will miss the two of them playing dress up for hours upon end. I will miss the slam of the screen door followed by "Mom, Amelia is here!" then followed by little feet racing straight to the doll house to discover yet another adventure in make believe.

A little research on moving....
