Village Shepherd

I first saw the Children's Charter when my own children were quite small, so it's been around for a good few years. I was so impressed by it that I pinned a copy onto the kitchen wall to remind me, especially when I was at the end of my tether, to treat my children well! The Children's Charter says this:

A child who lives with criticism, learns to condemn
A child who lives with hostility, learns to fight
A child who lives with ridicule, learns to be shy
A child who lives with shame, learns to feel guilty
