Nicest poem on parenting ! 

If a child lives with criticism 
He/she learns to condemn.

If a child lives with hostility 
He / she learns to fight.

If a child lives with ridicule 
He/ she  learns to be shy.

If a child lives with jealousy 
He / she learns to feel guilty.

But if a child lives with tolerance 
He/ she  learns to be patient.

If a child lives with encouragement 
He/ she learns self-confidence.

If a child lives with praise 
He/ she  learns to appreciate.

If a child lives with fairness 
He/ she  learns justice.

           If a child lives with approval 

           He/ she  learns to like himself.

If a child lives with security 
He learns to have faith.

           If a child lives with acceptance and friendship 
           He/she  learns to find love in the world.

All i can say in my short yet rich experience of being a parent - is not easy ! ! 

As long as we are making a sincere effort and learning all the time, 

we are fine !
