The precious gifts a child desires involve time.
Time to:
pause with me...when others are hurrying by
walk with me...when others find themselves running
talk with me...when others prefer shouting
listen to me...when others can find only frowns
play with me...when others prefer to be entertained
praise me...when others can find only fault           
read with me...when others prefer television
learn from me...when others have forsaken curiosity
study with me...when others show little interest in schoolwork
forgive me...when others are expecting perfection
hug me...when others fail to sense the power of touch

對孩子而言，愛的寫法是 T-I-M-E.
孩子渴望得到的珍貴禮物包括時間。
有時間…
跟我一起駐足——當別人匆匆而過時
同我一起漫步——當別人疲于奔命時
與我輕聲交談——當別人歇斯底里時
聆聽我的心聲——當別人愁眉緊鎖時
同我一起嬉戲——當別人寧愿接受娛悅時
請盡情表揚我——當別人只顧挑剔錯誤時
跟我一起讀書——當別人選擇看電視時
向我學點東西——當別人已擯棄好奇心時
同我一起學習——當別人對課業毫無興趣時
對我寬容一些——當別人苛求完美時
給我個擁抱吧——當別人無法體會到身體接觸的力量時
