看到一首小诗 与各位爸妈共勉
如果您能记住
If You Can Remember
Marti King For The Montessori Foundation
如果您能记住，您走一步，我要走三步才能赶上，
If you can remember that it takes three of my steps to equal one of yours;
如果您能理解，我观察世界的眼睛比您的眼睛矮三英尺，
If you understand that I must view life at an eye level three feet below yours;
如果您在我乐意的时候让我自己试试，而不是把我推到前面或挡在后面，
If you can let me try when I am ready instead of pushingme ahead or holding me back;
如果您能满怀爱心地感受我的人生，不剥夺我自决的需要，
If you can touch my life with your faith, without taking away my need for self-determination;
那么我将长大，学习和改变；
Then I can grow, learn, and become.
如果您能记住，我需要时间获得您已有的生活经验，
If you can remember that it takes time for me to gain the experience in living you have already had;
如果您能理解，我只讲述那些相对我的成熟程度来说有意义的事情，
If you can understand that I can only relate to those things which have meaning on my levels of maturity;
如果您能在我可以时，让我独自迈出一步，而不是把我猛推出去或拉回来，
If you can let me take a step of independence when I can, instead of thrusting me out or pulling me back;
如果您能用您的希望感受我的生活，而不破坏我对现实感觉，
If you can touch my life with your hope, without destroying my sense of reality;
那么我将长大，学习和改变；
Then I can grow, learn and become.
如果您能记住，我像您一样，失败后再试需要勇气，
If you can remember that it takes courage for me to try again after failure, just like you;
如果您能理解，我必须自己弄清我是谁，
If you can understand that I must find out who I am for myself;
如果您在我想要时让我自己寻找自己的路，而不是为我选择您认为我该走的路，
If you can let me find my own path when I want, instead of choosing for me the way you think I should go;
如果您用您的爱感受我的人生，而不破坏我自由呼吸的空间，
If you can touch my life with your love, without taking away the space I need to breathe;
那么我将长大，学习和改变。
Then I can grow, learn and become.
