f all the animals, the boy is the most unmanageable. ---Plato
柏拉图都承认，在所有动物中，男孩是最难管教的。
A bamboo stick makes a good child. -----Chinese proverb
中国人的办法很简单，“棍棒下面出孝子”。 这句中国谚语让我想起小时候父母说，牛要抽，马要鞭，小子不打要上天。 关键是要让孩子认识到错误，不一定就需要准备皮鞭和棍棒，正像下面这个老外说的。经常动用武力容易让孩子产生逆反心里。
I don't think taking a belt and flailing away at my kids does much good. I don't want them to resent me. I want them to understand what they did was wrong. ------Earl Ofari Hutchinson, Ph.D., author, lecturer Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression. ----- Dr. Haim Ginott
孩子就像还未凝固的湿水泥板。掉下任何东西都会在上面留下刻画。 教育孩子不可不慎哟！选择孩子的读物要谨慎。
If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others. ----- Dr. Haim Ginott
如果你希望您的孩子变好，有一个不错的方法，就是要让孩子无意中听到您在别人前表扬他。 有时候教育方法也是要讲究的。
I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized. ----- Dr. Haim Ginott
我得出一个惊人的结论：我就是课堂上最有决定性的力量。我每天的情绪决定了课堂上一天的氛围。作为教师，我决定了孩子今后生活是悲惨还是快乐；我可以是一个惩罚的工具，也可以是激励的因子；我可以羞辱也可以幽默，可以伤害也可以治愈。不管那一种情形，正是我的反应决定了危机是升级还是解除，孩子成长为君子还是堕落为小人。 我这个曾经当过老师的人翻译这段话，让我怀念起陶行知…… 不可不慎您的教鞭，你的言行，对教师如此，对父母不亦如此吗？
Fish swim, birds fly, and people feel. ----- Dr. Haim Ginott
鱼游，鸟飞，人感受。是的，是的，从小就让他学会感受，正如下面这位所说。
In every childhood, there comes a magical moment when the future opens its arms. We cannot say what will bring about the magic, so expose your child to a variety of experiences: Take her to see the movie being filmed down the street; visit museums and galleries; give her a camera and a microscope and show her how to use them; share your work with her; always recognize and praise her efforts. Listen to her dreams. -------Rosemarie Robotham, ESSENCE editor
让孩子多浸润在经典、音乐、绘画和大自然之中吧！ A
hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child. --------Forest E. Witcraft (American Scholar, Teacher and Scout Leader, 1894-1967)
今后的一百年，不是我的银行存款的多少，不是我居住的房子，也不是我驾驶的车子，决定世界不同的是我对我的孩子的生活是多么的重要！
We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today. ----Stacia Tauscher
我们总担心孩子明天会怎样，恰恰忽视了他的今天。中国有句俗语，儿孙自有儿孙福。不必过于考虑您孩子的明天，还是过好您与他在一起的今天吧！
There are two lasting bequests we can give our children: One is roots, the other is wings. ----Hodding Carter
我们只可以留给孩子两样东西：根和翼。我想一句话，孩子超过我，我何必留给他钱；孩子不如我，我何必留给他钱。
It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds. ---- Aesop
还是伊索讲得好，好羽毛不见得就造就好鸟。哦，千万不可留钱给孩子哟！哈，主要是因为我也没钱。
The best thing to spend on your children is your time. ----Louise Hart 多找点时间陪陪孩子吧！ There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million. ---Walt Streightiff
孩子眼中可不止七大奇迹，而是七百万！千万记住，任何时候都要保护好您孩子的好奇心。
It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post. ---- Cicero
西塞罗说，勇者的品质是不被挫折压垮，也不放弃自己的职责。 记住，从小就要培养您孩子的责任心和面对挫折的反应，这非常非常重要！
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them. ---- James Baldwin, author
孩子最不擅长的是听大人的话，但他的模仿能力是不可思议的强. 不要忘记，您是孩子的榜样。 一个体育明星也表达了同样的看法，连吃饭也得小心。
Parents need to serve as role models for children and to instill in them the fact that exercise, like healthy eating, should be a lifelong habit. -----Florence Griffith Joyner, Olympic track star If you can't hold them in your arms, please hold them in your heart.----Mother Hale
孩子总要离开您的，你不能象控制风筝一样，永远把他捏在手里！
Your children need your presence more than your presents. --------Jesse Jackson
是的，Presence比presents更重要！
An error means a child needs help, not a reprimand or ridicule for doing something wrong. -----Marva Collins, educator
孩子需要从错误中学习，我们要做的是鼓励。
We must teach our children to trust their hopes and not their fears. ------Eleta Greene, psychologist
不要恐吓孩子！否则他会丧失未来。建立他对未来生活的信心比什么都重要。
Children who are truly loved ... unconsciously know themselves to be valued. This knowledge is worth more than any gold.... The feeling of being valuable--"I am a valuable person"--is essential to mental health and is a cornerstone of self-discipline. It is a direct product of parental love. -----Dr. M. Scott Peck, author
可怜天下父母心！ 爱，但不宠爱！爱的目的是让孩子认识自己的价值。我是一个有用的人，让孩子认识这一点，就能培养出一个心智健全和自律的孩子，也是父母爱的直接结果。 纪伯伦下面的话，我不敢翻译，需要您慢慢品味。
Your children are not your children They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself They come through you but not from you And though they are with you Yet they belong not to you You may give them your love but not your thoughts For they have their own thoughts You may house their bodies but not their souls For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow which you cannot visit not even in your dreams You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you For life goes not backward Nor tarries with yesterday.... ------Kahlil Gibran, Syrian-Lebanese author
Your child is a treasure,a huamn miracle, rare and irreplaceable. When you recognize and honor this truth, you relate to kids more as individuals and thus enhance their self-esteem. -----------STEPHANIE MARSTON, AUTHOR
是的，您的孩子是独一无二的，是个奇迹，是个宝藏。认识这个真理非常有用。
A child reminds us that playtime is an essential part of our daily routine.
孩子常常提醒我们，娱乐才是每天生活的最基本的组成部分。
还是陪你孩子好好玩玩吧。
