A Few Early Childhood Poems:

CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE

                    " Dorothy Law Nolte"

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with fear, he learns to be apprehensive.
If a child lives with pity, he learns to feel sorry for himself.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with jealousy, he learns what envy is.
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns to be confident.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with praise, he learns to be appreciative.
If a child lives with acceptance, he learns to love.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with recognition, he learns that it is good to have a goal.
If a child lives with sharing, he learns about generosity.
If a child lives with honesty and fairness, he learns what truth and justice are.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith in himself and in those about him.
If a child lives with friendliness, he learns that the world is a nice place in which to live.
If you live with serenity, your child will live with peace of mind.

With what is your child living?

  

            TODAY       

          "Author Unknown" 

 Today like millions of other Americans

I went to work. I didn't design a beautiful skyscraper,

I didn't write a proposal to save an endangered species,

and I didn't drive a bus or fly a plane,

or write a crucial bill that would someday become a law

However, I did spend time with some very important people.

I read a story to an attorney,

I sang the alphabet song with a Supreme Court Justice.

I ate Lunch with a pastor,

and patted the back of an engineer until he fell asleep.

Taught a policeman how to tie his shoes,

and introduced an astronaut to the color red.

Tomorrow, who knows whom I'll meet,

but one thing is for sure.....

They will be very IMPORTANT

For they are our precious children,

and the hope of our very future.
