【澳門導報】良知和教育(8)
編者按:
每個人都有自己喜歡的生活方式, Diego 和 Anna很幸運,因為他們有著共同喜歡的生活方式。編者認為,這種生活方式給他們帶來的最大好處就是:“擁有整個世界”不再是一句空談。諾大的世界就是他們的家,他們遊歷八方的經歷所產生的各種感受、世界觀、人生理念或許是顛覆性的,且極具震撼力。澳門導報希望把他們的經歷分享給廣大讀者。(瀏覽連載請關注網站www.am-zm.com 學術與觀察/百家專欄 )

讓我們看一下我們的行為會對地球造成的影響,讓我們想一下我們每個購買行為的背後是什麼:這些物品來自哪裡?是怎樣生產的?會不會對環境造成消耗?還有,物品可以使用多久?最後要丟到哪裡去處理?如果說我們是當下社會的演員,而孩子就會成為未來社會的演員。傳播對地球的愛和敬意會成為我們教育孩子的禮物。我曾經和孩子一起在大自然漫步數小時,我們一起觀察動物們,或播種種子,給予孩子一個更好的世界,是為了讓他們儘早意識到他們的責任,我們要做與大自然和諧共處的榜樣,一起維護我們共同的家園。
Let's try to understand the impact of our actions on the planet, let's try to see what is behind each product we buy: where do they come from? How were they made? At what human and ecological cost? And then, when we throw them away, where will they go? We are the actors of the present, our children are the actors of the future. Transmitting love to the Earth and respect for it is a gift in parenting. I have spent hours walking in nature with my son and daughter, we have spent hours watching animals, or growing seeds: those are shared moments that unite and open doors to a new communication. That transmission is a gift for your relationship with yourchildren, for them when they grow up, and for our planet. To give children a better world today is to make them aware as soon as possible, and show them with our example what we can do to live in harmony with each other and with the nature that is our home to all.
有許多次爸爸媽媽們跟我說他們現在體制的宿命:除了把孩子送進學校,他們別無選擇。我也看到,有很多地方,中國和其他地方的很多學校、學院、研究所正在尋求一種更現代化和輕鬆的學習方式。如果我們的孩子不能去那些學校,只是在傳統學校裡上課的話,那我們也要明白教育不止在學校。當他們放學回家了,你應該告訴他這並沒有什麼不對,不要給他們施加在學校的壓力,為他們取得成就而開心,淡化那些不成功。你可以在家裡給他們營造一片遠離學校壓力的樂土,一個可以讓他們玩耍,自由地展現自我,一個可以讓他們感受支援和信任,可以有交流和分享的心靈綠洲。畢竟,其實這就是在表達你的愛。
Many times fathers and mothers show me as a fatality the system they are in: they have to send the children to school, they have no other choice. There is, in China and everywhere, many schools, academies, institutions that are looking for a modern and happier way of schooling. Anyway, if we cannot reach these schools, we have to understand that if the child goes to a traditional school, that is not why all our educational ideas end there. When you return from school, support him by telling him that nothing is wrong. Do not offer at home the pressure they suffer in the Institution. Celebrate their achievements and relativize their failures. Hug your child. You can offer them, at home, an oasis, a place to rest from the outside pressure, a place where they can play, and express them selves freely, where they feel support and trust, and where there is dialogue and sharing.After all, it's just about love.
