Memo From A Child To Parents
 |
1. Don't spoil me. I know quite well that I ought not to have all I ask for. I'm only testing you.
2. Don't be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer it, it makes me feel secure.
3. Don't let me form bad habits. I have to rely on you to detect them in the early stages.
4. Don't make me feel smaller than I am. It only makes me behave stupidly "big".
5. Don't correct me in front of people if you can help it. I'll take much more notice if you talk quietly with me in private.
6. Don't make me feel that my mistakes are sins. It upsets my sense of values.
7. Don't protect me from consequences. I need to learn the painful way sometimes.
8. Don't be too upset when I say "I hate you". Sometimes it isn't you I hate but your power to thwart me.
9. Don't take too much notice of my small ailments. Sometimes they get me the attention I need.
10. Don't nag. If you do, I shall have to protect myself by appearing deaf.
11. Don't forget that I cannot explain myself as well as I should like. That is why I am not always accurate.
12. Don't put me off when I ask questions. If you do, you will find that I stop asking and seek my information elsewhere.
13. Don't be inconsistent. That completely confuses me and makes me lose faith in you.
14. Don't tell me my fears are silly. They are terribly real and you can do much to reassure me if you try to understand.
15. Don't ever suggest that you are perfect or infallible. It gives me too great a shock when I discover that you are neither.
16. Don't ever think that it is beneath your dignity to apologize to me. An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm towards you.
17. Don't forget I love experimenting. I couldn't get along without it, so please put up with it.
18. Don't forget how quickly I am growing up. It must be very difficult for you to keep pace with me, but please do try.
19. Don't forget that I don't thrive without lots of love and understanding, but I don't need to tell you, do I?
20. Please keep yourself fit and healthy. I need you.
孩子給爸爸媽媽的備忘錄

1. 不要嬌慣我。我知道的非常清楚，不是我要什么就該得到什么的。有時(shí)我只是在試探你。
2. 不要害怕在我面前堅(jiān)持你的立場(chǎng)。我其實(shí)更喜歡你這樣，因?yàn)檫@使我有安全感。
3. 不要讓我養(yǎng)成壞毛病。只有你才能在把它們消滅在萌芽狀態(tài)。
4. 不要讓我感覺(jué)自己比實(shí)際要小，那樣只能使我愚蠢地去充“大”個(gè)。
5. 如果有可能，不要當(dāng)眾教訓(xùn)我。如果你在私下悄悄跟我說(shuō)，我會(huì)更加注意的。
6. 不要讓我感覺(jué)自己犯的錯(cuò)誤就像犯了罪一樣，那只能搞亂我的價(jià)值觀。
7. 不要阻止我承擔(dān)后果，有時(shí)我需要從教訓(xùn)中學(xué)習(xí)。
8. 當(dāng)我說(shuō)“我恨你”時(shí)，不要生氣。有時(shí)我恨的不是你，我恨的只是你那令我感到很渺小的權(quán)威。
9. 我得了小病時(shí)，不要太在意我。有時(shí)生病可以使我得到我所需要的關(guān)注。
10. 不要啰啰嗦嗦的。如果你那樣的話，我只能通過(guò)裝聾作啞來(lái)保護(hù)自己。
11. 不要忘記，有時(shí)我會(huì)詞不達(dá)意。這也是為什么我有時(shí)不能準(zhǔn)確地表達(dá)自己。
12. 當(dāng)我問(wèn)問(wèn)題時(shí)，不要不耐煩。否則，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)我不再問(wèn)你問(wèn)題，而是從別的地方尋找答案。
13. 不要出爾反爾，這樣只能是我疑惑，并對(duì)你失去信任。
14. 不要對(duì)我說(shuō)我的恐懼是可笑的。它們是真真實(shí)實(shí)的，如果你能理解我，你就能更好地安慰我。
15. 永遠(yuǎn)不要暗示你是完美的和不會(huì)犯錯(cuò)誤的。否則當(dāng)我發(fā)現(xiàn)事實(shí)與此相反時(shí)，我會(huì)感到很震驚的。
16. 永遠(yuǎn)不要認(rèn)為向我道歉有損你的尊嚴(yán)。一個(gè)誠(chéng)實(shí)的道歉會(huì)使我感到溫暖并加深我們的感情。
17. 不要忘了我喜歡嘗試。如果我不嘗試就寸步難行，所以請(qǐng)你包容。
18. 不要忘了我長(zhǎng)得很快。你肯定覺(jué)得與我俱進(jìn)非常困難，但是還是請(qǐng)你努力去做。
19. 不要忘了離開了厚愛和理解我不會(huì)茁壯成長(zhǎng)，但是，這一點(diǎn)我不需要提醒你把？
20. 請(qǐng)保持身體健康，因?yàn)槲倚枰恪?/p>
