I Believe ...

Life affords no greater responsibility, no greater privilege, than the raising of the next generation!

Dorothy Law Neite once said ... 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 ridicule, he learns to be shy.If a child learns to feel shame, he learns to feel guilty.If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient. If a child lives with encouragement he learns confidence. If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate. If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice. If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith. If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself. If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world. 

Beautiful and very wise words!
