As most of you know, my husband and have sold our unit and are moving, so the packing has started, because we have moved so many times, we actually don’t have a lot of “stuff” compared to some and yet, I’m still getting rid of stuff!!

I do love the whole going through cupboards and drawers and cleaning things out, it really is a form of cleansing for me, anyway, in doing so, I came across this poem that I use to look at every day when my son was little and I thought that I would share it all with you today, because it is something that I truly believe in.

CHILDREN

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 lives with 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.

Please share this with everyone who has children.

Namaste, Katrina
