Take a moment to listen today

To what your children are trying to say;

Listen today, whatever you do

Or they won’t be there to listen to you.

今天花些時間去聽，

聽孩子想說些什麼？

今天去聽，不論你在忙些什麼？

不然，他們將不會來聽您。

Listen to their problems, listen for their needs

Praise their smallest triumphs, praise their smallest deeds;

Tolerate their chatter, amplify their laughter,

Find out what’s the matter, find out what they’re after.

聽聽他們的問題，聽聽他們的需要，

誇讚他們最小的勝利，最小的好行為。

容忍他們的閒談及大聲喜笑。

發現他們在做什麼，追求什麼？

But tell them that you love them, every single night

And though you scold them, be sure you hold them;

Tell them “everything’s all right;

Tomorrow’s looking bright!”

但是每晚告訴他們，你愛他們，

即使你責備他們，必定擁抱他們。

告訴他們，

「一切都好，明天會更好！」

Take a moment to listen today

To what your children are trying to say;

Listen today, whatever you do

And they will come back to listen to you.

今天花些時間傾聽，

聽聽您的孩子要說些什麼？

今天聽，不論你在忙什麼，

他們才會回來聽您。
