Children Learn What They Live
By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.

 If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.

 If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.

 If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.

 If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.

 If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.

 If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.

 If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.

 If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.

 If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.

 If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.

 If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.

 If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.

 If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.

 If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.

 If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.

 If children live with fairness, they learn justice.

 If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.

 If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.

 If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

Afrocentrism in Children and Youth

Greetings to All!

My name is Chinue X (pronounced cheen-way) which means 'God's own Blessing in Igbo Nigeria. My objective in creating this blog is to dialogue on the value and importance of Afrocentrism in Children and Youth.

For too long, Afrikans, both diasporan and continental, have been mis-educated by an euroocentric worldview that has intentionally omitted, distorted and mirepresented the Afrikan contributions to world civilization and the building of the Americas.

No longer do we as Afrikans have to sit in the back of the bus and allow the educational system to de-value, denigrate, distort, and divide our race. No longer do we have to read textbooks that negate and omit our existence, or perpetuate a  supremacist worldview. Thanks to the world wide web, we can access "TRUTH" that is credible and valid on our existence.

My goals are to disseminate true facts on the Afrikan's role as the number one contributor of all cultural aspects of civilization and being and to share resources that will uplift the Afrikan race.

Asante
