Positive Reinforcement

Folder: 
Society

A home filled with criticism
is not an ideal place for growth.

 

It will stunt a child,
hindering them
from proper development.

 

They will never reach
their full potential
if they cannot discover who they are
and what makes them unique
in an encouraging place.

 

The perfect environment
is where their individuality
is nurtured.

 

More than discipline,
reaffirming your kids
will give them the confidence
to be themselves.

 

It will mean the difference
between an emotionally secure person
and one in constant internal turmoil.

 

Depression, anger, addiction
all begin in a home
missing the bare essentials:
acceptance and love.
