Family Education Quotations:

家庭教育名言

1. Life affords no greater responsibility, no greater privilege,

than the raising of the next generation.

命里不會有比養(yǎng)育下一代更有使命感和優(yōu)先權(quán)的事情了。



2. Don’t confuse love with permissiveness.

Sometimes telling a child no

is the most loving thing you can do for him.

別將放任與愛混為一談。

有時候?qū)�孩子說“不”才顯出你對他的大愛。



3. No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity,

if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family,

what have you really accomplished?

無論你為你自己和全人類貢獻了些什么，

如果當你回首而發(fā)現(xiàn)沒能對家庭傾注愛與關(guān)心，

你又究竟算是成就了些什么呢？



4.    I looked on childrearing not only as a work of love and duty

but as a profession that was fully interesting and challenging

as any honorable profession in the world

and one that demanded the best that I could bring to it.
-- Rose Kennedy (mother of JFK)

我認為養(yǎng)育孩子不僅是體現(xiàn)愛與責(zé)任的苦工，

而還是一項充滿趣味和挑戰(zhàn)性，如同世上任何其他令人尊敬的職業(yè)，

而且它要求我把我最好的奉獻其中。



5.    Say thank you often

so a child knows you don’t take her actions for granted.

Even thank her for doing chores.

Remember, children learn by example.

If you want a grateful child you must show gratitude.

常說“謝謝”，那么孩子就不會認為你對她的行為熟視無睹了。

即使她做的是家務(wù)雜活，也應(yīng)謝謝她。

記住，言傳不如身教。

如果你想培養(yǎng)出一個會感恩的孩子，你也必須時時展示感恩之情。



6.    Keep yourself in good health

so you can meet your child’s needs for a long time.

Don’t smoke. Don’t drink and drive. Exercise.

And of course, set a good example by eating healthy foods.

保持你自己的健康，那么你就能長期地滿足孩子的需要。

別吸煙。別酒后駕駛。做運動。

還有，不消多說，樹立健康飲食的好榜樣。



7. Don’t let dinner be ruined by TV watching.

Enjoy your family around the table,

sharing experiences of the day,

plans for the future or read aloud a few pages from a good book.

Use dinner as a time to feed your body, your mind and your spirit.

Turn off the TV!

別讓晚飯時間被電視毀了。

享受濟濟一桌的家庭生活，

分享當天的經(jīng)歷，分享未來的計劃，或者朗讀幾頁好書。

把晚餐時分作為滋養(yǎng)你身體、精神和意志的時間。

一定要關(guān)掉電視！



8. At the end of the day, a loving family should find everything forgivable.

一日將近之際，

一個可愛的家庭會發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有任何事是不能被寬恕的。



9.  Families are the compass that guides us.

They are the inspiration to reach great heights,

and our comfort when we occasionally falter.

家庭是指引我們的羅盤。

它們是到達新高的靈感來源，而且是我們蹣跚之時的安慰。



10. Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere

where individual differences are appreciated,

mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible

-- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.

規(guī)則彈性靈活的氛圍下盛放

— 如此氛圍可以在一個有教養(yǎng)的家庭中找到。



11. There are two things you must give a child.

The first is roots:

a deep understanding of your confidence in his abilities

and your unconditional love.

The other is wings:

the right to use those abilities on his own

because you want him to gain his independence.

有兩樣?xùn)|西你必須給予孩子。

另一樣是翼：使用他那些能力的權(quán)力，因為你希望他去獲取他的獨立。

where boys and girls first learn how to take responsibility,
