CHILDREN

Life for children in school as at home is based upon security, praise and encouragement of attitudes, skills and attainment appropriate to their stage of development. The aim of such an approach is to help them become more confident, versatile and aware - qualities which will allow them best to fulfil their abilities and, when necessary, compete with others.

This approach is well summed up in the words of Dorothy Law Holte:

xxx criticism, he learns to condemn.
xxx hostility, he learns to fight.
xxx ridicule, he becomes shy.
xxx shame, he learns to feel guilty.
xxx tolerance, he learns to be patient.
xxx encouragement, he gains confidence.
xxx praise, he learns to appreciate.
xxx fairness, he learns to like justice.
xxx approval, he learns to like himself.
xxx acceptance and friendship,
he learns to find love in the world.
