Children Learn What They Live With

 CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE WITH. If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate. --Dorothy Law Nolte. Psalm 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward. Please, let's take this one to heart, if you are a parent, teacher or have influence over a child.

Choose words that will add value to the child. Motivate the child always by celebrating small wins and praising the child. Have a great weekend friendsπŸ™πŸ‘ Lilian Nkem Obielodan The EYFS Educator.
