您能為孩子所做最重要的事
The Most Important Thing You can
Do for Your Children
原則ㄧ：沒有比這還重要的事
Principle #1:
Nothing is more important
•優先順序的力量
The power of your priorities
• 愛love
• 「優先次序」從選擇開始-當我們視其他事更為重要時，我們跟孩子的關
係不再成為首要的。
Priorities begin with my Choice - Our relationship with our kids stops
being a priority when we decide to make other things the priority.

原則ㄧ：沒有比這還重要的事
Principle #1:
Nothing is more important
• 選擇-您在哪些地方花您的時間、精力還有金錢？
Choice - Where do You Spend Your Time, Energy
and Money?
• 金錢-比起我們的家庭、配偶以及孩子還要重要嗎？
money - is this priority above our family, spouse and children?
• 成功-比起我們的家庭、配偶以及孩子還要重要嗎？
success -is this priority above our family, spouse and children?
• 嗜好-比起我們的家庭、配偶以及孩子還要重要嗎？
hobbies -is this priority above our family, spouse and children?

原則ㄧ：沒有比這還重要的事

原則ㄧ：沒有比這還重要的事
Principle #1:
Nothing is more important
• 有目的地教養-非被動教養
Parenting Intentionally - Not Reactively.
• 建立將孩子納入關乎家庭的安排計劃的習慣。
making it a habit to get them involved with you in
projects around your home; and
• 並且計劃晚間與家人孩子的共同娛樂
planning your evenings of entertainment together
7
原則ㄧ：沒有比這還重要的事
Principle #1:
Nothing is more important
• 安排時間上優先次序
Priorities are Done in My Time
• 愛在我們日常生活中與「時間」息息相關。
Love is spelled out in our daily lives with four
letters: T-I-M-E.
• 安排陪伴孩子的時間
Schedule time with child(ren)
• 成為日常生活一部分
Establish Routines
• 愛在當中
Love as you go
8
原則ㄧ：沒有比這還重要的事
Principle #1:
Nothing is more important
• （有時）什麼也不做單單陪孩子玩
Just Do Nothing (sometimes) PLAY
9
原則二：以新的力量來愛
Principle #2
Love with New Power
• 我們如何愛他們？
How do we love them?
• 要成為好父母，您必須明白以身作則的力量。在關係上
我們傾向遵循那些為我們設立典範的人。
To be a good parent, you must understand the power
of example. In relationships all of us tend to follow the
examples that have been set for us.
10
原則二：以新的力量來愛
Principle #2
Love with New Power
• 我們如何愛他們？
How do we love them?
• 我們傾向進入與我們父母同樣的婚姻，我們未必如此期
望，但潛意識中有這種傾向。
We tend to have the kind of marriage that our parents
had, we don't have to have this, but tend to.
11
原則二：以新的力量來愛
Principle #2
Love with New Power
• 在婚姻中，互補個性互相吸引----同時個性迥異又彼
此衝突。
in marriage, opposites attract ----- and then
opposites attack!
• 這個原則深深影響著我們的教養。身為父母親，我們傾
向以我們成長的方式養育兒女。如果您生長在一個大嗓
門的家庭，家人們同時講話比誰講話大聲的，您的家庭
大概也會是這樣。
This principle has deep implications for our parenting.
As parents, we tend to raise our children as we were
raised. If you grew up in a loud home where everyone
talked at at the same time, this is the way your family
will drift.
12
原則二：以新的力量來愛
Principle #2
Love with New Power
• 但如果您生長在一個安靜的家庭，甚至一隻蒼蠅在窗邊
飛都會引起警報器嗡嗡大叫，那麼您自然就會是很安靜
地。不是說一種方式是正確而另一種是錯誤的; 而單純
只是不同的兩種家庭文化。
If you were raised in a home where it was so quiet that
a single fly buzzing in the window brought a four-alarm
response, this is the way you‘ll naturally blend. One
way isn't correct and the other wrong; it's just two
different family cultures.
13
原則二：以新的力量來愛
Principle #2
Love with New Power
• 如果您曾經發現您說的話或行為跟您的父母親一模一樣，
您就能夠明白以身作則的力量。
If you've ever heard or seen your parents in the words
you use and actions you take, you understand the
power of example.
14
原則三：從「心」溝通
Principle #3
Communicate from Your Heart
• 話語的力量
The Power of Your Words
• 嘴裡出來的話語都源自於「心」
What comes out of the mouth gets it's start in the heart!
• 話語對年輕人的影響力超乎您的想像
The power of words influence a young person's heart
beyond measure

you still remember some of the negative words spoken
to you while you were on the playground or at school
15

• 我希望不是這樣，但實際上是
I want to pretend this is not true, but it is
• 當我的心裡氣憤時，我說出來的話就會無禮。

As adults, we tend to often protect our words with other
adults
• 我的老闆可能沒看見或是欣賞我的努力，即使我們沒說出
來，孩子都能感受到裡面的憤怒。
my boss may not see or appreciate my hard work, but we
don't tell him, our children get the anger!
16

• 你跟豬公的乳頭一樣沒有用
you are as worthless as tits on a male pig
18
原則三：從「心」溝通
Principle #3
Communicate from Your Heart
• 話語的力量
The Power of Your Words
• 停下來、轉身並傾聽
Stop, Turn and Listen
• 我假設這從不曾這麼教導，就像您們不教過馬路前要
「停、看、聽」
I suspect this is never taught, since you don't teach
Stop, Look and Listen for crossing street
19
原則三：從「心」溝通
Principle #3
Communicate from Your Heart
• 當孩子生氣時應當說什麼
What to say when your child is Angry
• 怒氣＋怒氣＝很多怒氣
Anger + Anger = multiplied anger
• 怒氣+溫和的言語＝幫助孩子的機會
Anger + gentle words = an opportunity to help your child
• 溫和的言語不代表靜默
Gentle doesn't mean "quiet."

20
原則三：從「心」溝通

• 為何您看見別人眼中有刺，卻不想自己眼中有梁木呢？
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye
and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
• 我是否教導孩子虛偽？
Am I Teaching my Children Hypocrisy?
• 我是否正在教導孩子正直？
Am I Teaching my Children Integrity?

• 教導憐憫從「別惹怒您的孩子」開始。

• 停止對孩子的責罵及嘮叨，這會引起孩子的不滿和怒氣。寧
可以建議和敬虔的忠告建立長遠的紀律。

them angry and resentful. Rather, bring them up with long
discipline and with suggestions and godly advice.

for being on the phone too much.
24

The Power of Your Discipline and Compassion
• 不平衡的批評
Unbalanced Criticism
• 每一個批評要用十個讚美肯定來平衡
balance every one word of criticism with at least 10 words of praise!
• 不合理的要求
Unreasonable demands.
• 當我們要求孩子的事情超過他們能力時
anytime we ask a child to do something beyond their abilities
• 當孩子們問原因時，父母親經常回答：「因為我說的！」

Principle #4
Show & Teach Mercy
• 管教和同情的力量

it.

work with them.

30
原則六：力行黃金守則
Principle #6
Live the Golden Rule
• 無私的力量
The Power of Unselfishness
• 管教的服務。「服從」的意思指的是「在下面聽」，說的是有能力
去聽見並回應另一方的指示。我認為這是很重要的一個工作技能及
生命技能。沒有人天生就喜歡別人來告訴我們該做什麼，對我們成
人來說也是。我們天生就傾向抗拒別人的指揮。需要紀律來拒絕血
氣上的自私而遵循老闆指示的方向，或者不自私地來滿足配偶的需
要。這樣的紀律是從順服父母親開始學習的。
the discipline of service. The word obey literally means to "hear
under." It is the ability to listen and respond to another's direction.
I'd say that's an important job skill and a life skill. None of us
really like it when someone else tells us what to do even for us
adults, something in us tends to resist another person directing us.
It takes discipline to say no to our own selfishness and to follow
the directions of a boss or to give unselfishly to meet the needs of
our spouse. This discipline is first learned through obedience to
31
parents.
原則六：力行黃金守則
Principle #6
Live the Golden Rule
• 無私的力量
The Power of Unselfishness
• 做出正確的事的喜悅。造物主創造人類讓我們享受當做出正
確的事時的喜悅。您的子女永遠不會承認當他們遵守您的要
求、拿垃圾出去丟時，心裡頭有一絲絲的滿足感。但這是真
實存在的。
The pleasure of doing the right thing. God has designed us
so that we experienced joy when we do what is right. Your
son or daughter will never admit there was a tiny burst of
satisfaction that came when they obeyed your request and
took out the trash, but it is nevertheless there.
