正向教養：從「心」出發，共創和諧親子關係

Positive Parenting: Nurturing Harmony in Parent-Child Relationships from the Heart

要照顧好孩子，得先照顧好自己。 這並不是自私，而是正向教養的基石。當主要照顧者在育兒過程中遇到挑戰時，我們首先要做的不是苛責，而是換位思考，同理他們的身心狀態。

適時提供喘息的空間與時間，並在他們情緒低落時，成為那個能「接住」他們的人。唯有照顧者自身的能量充足，才有能力好好照顧孩子。一家人相互體諒，正是家庭和諧運作的關鍵核心。

To truly care for your children, you must first care for yourself. This isn't selfishness; it's the very foundation of positive parenting. When primary caregivers face challenges in their parenting journey, our first instinct shouldn't be to blame. Instead, we should put ourselves in their shoes, empathizing with their physical and mental well-being.

It's crucial to offer them timely space and time to breathe, and to be the one who "catches" them when they're feeling emotional. Only when caregivers are fully recharged can they effectively nurture their children. Mutual understanding within the family is indeed the core of a harmonious household.

建立孩子的安全堡壘：

同理心、安全感、信任感

父母需要讓孩子感受到充分的安全感與信任感。 這種安全的依附關係是孩子成長過程中至關重要的一環，更是未來人際關係發展的基礎。

對於尚未發展語言的嬰兒來說，哭聲是他們唯一的表達方式。當生理需求（如換尿布、餵奶）被滿足後，心理需求也需要同步、及時的回應。

即使當下無法讓孩子立即停止哭鬧，我們傳遞的卻是一個重要的訊息：我們同理你的感受，我們聽到了你的哭聲，我們就在你身邊！ 此時，輕輕拍拍孩子，給予溫和的言語安撫，讓他們感受到自己是被愛和被尊重的。

Building a Child's Secure Haven:

Empathy, Security, and Trust

Parents need to ensure their children feel a profound sense of security and trust. This secure attachment is a vital component of a child's development and forms the bedrock for future relationships.

For infants who haven't yet developed language, crying is their sole means of expressing needs. After their physical needs (like a diaper change or feeding) are met, their emotional needs also require simultaneous and timely responses.

Even if it doesn't immediately stop their crying, we convey a powerful message: We empathize with your feelings, we hear your cries, and we are here for you! At this moment, a gentle pat and soothing words can make them feel loved and respected.

引導孩子適性發展：

溫和堅定，培養自律與韌性

根據孩子的特質與不同發展階段，透過適當的方法，引導他們展現正向行為。 在親子關係中，可以藉由安排各類型的親子活動來增進彼此的感情。

父母應以溫和而堅定的態度，從生活中的小細節著手，培養孩子的自律行為，成為一個講求原則的父母。

如此一來，我們才能建立一個兼具支持與保護力的家庭環境，讓孩子更勇於嘗試，並充滿面對挑戰的韌性。

Guiding Children Towards Adaptable Development: Gentle Firmness, Fostering Self-Discipline and Resilience

Based on a child's unique traits and developmental stages, we should use appropriate methods to guide them toward positive behaviors. Within the parent-child relationship, engaging in various family activities can strengthen emotional bonds.

Parents should adopt a gentle yet firm approach, focusing on small daily details to cultivate their children's self-discipline, becoming principled parents.

This way, we can establish a family environment that is both supportive and protective, empowering children to be more adventurous and resilient in facing challenges.
