Happy Father’s Day! Teach Your Children Well …
… and know they love you. Happy Father’s Day!
Teach Your Children Well, for Children Learn What They Live –
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.
—excerpted from Dorothy Law Nolte’s Poem, Children Learn What They Live.
