Kirk Martin: 作为父母，我经常会遇到孩子不听话的情况，尤其是在度假时，这让我感到非常沮丧。我理解那种想要控制孩子行为的冲动，但我也逐渐意识到，强硬的孩子往往有他们自己的想法和需求。我发现，如果我能尝试理解他们的动机，而不是一味地批评和纠正，就能更好地与他们相处。例如，当我的女儿Sophie在海滩上用铲子玩耍时，她并没有按照我们期望的方式去挖沙子，而是开始旋转它。我的第一反应是阻止她，但我意识到，她可能只是在寻找一种不同的方式来满足自己的感觉需求。于是，我尝试以一种更积极的方式来回应她，鼓励她去挑战自己，而不是直接否定她的行为。我发现，这种方法不仅能减少冲突，还能帮助她建立自信心。我也意识到，父母需要反思自己的行为，并控制自己的情绪。我们不能总是期望孩子按照我们的意愿行事，而是应该学会接受他们的本性，并引导他们朝着积极的方向发展。最重要的是，我们要让孩子感受到我们的爱和支持，让他们知道，即使他们不完美，我们仍然会无条件地爱他们。
