careful the things you say

From the musical Into The Woods, which is a mashup of fairy tales, this is a beautiful song about children that Bernadette sings very well.

"All children behave as well as they are treated." Jan Hunt // "It is better to bind your children to you by a feeling of respect and by gentleness, than by fear." Terence // "Your children will become what you are; so be what you want them to be." David Bly // Children Learn What They Live - Dorothy Law Neite 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. He 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. // “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary. The evil it does is permanent.” -Mahatma Ghandi
