He learns to be shyIf a child lives with shame
He learns to feel guiltyIf a child lives with tolerance
He learns to be patientIf a child lives with encouragement
He learns confidenceIf a child lives with praise
He learns to appreciateIf a child lives with fairness
He learns justiceIf a child lives with security
He learns to have faithIf a child lives with approval
He learns to like himselfIf a child lives with honesty
He learns truthIf a child lives with acceptance and friendship

One we use to read these lines on back of our school copies. The copies of ‘The City School’ once had these lines on the back of them.
They also once had the lines of Faiz Ahmed Faiz about children.
Shahrukh bhai… Fortunately I read these lines for the first time today… and I felt the importance for these lines because of my daughter…. and I realize that how environment and upbringing can be crucial, when raising a child…
These lines are by Dorothy Law Holte. Please also update the “Reference” in your post.
I wrote copied these on my weblog from the back of my school copy. http://rhythmaticlife.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/children-learn-what-they-live/
These are really meaningful lines. But when we use to read it on the backs of our copies, we never knew its meanings.
You can also check Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s words and if you don’t mind in posting them in your weblog too.
