下面是中文翻译，可能不是很贴切。当你真正体会到其中的涵义时，便会发现其中“爱”、“放手”、“分清责任”、“信任”、“尊重”、“正向信念”这些家庭教育的真谛都包含其中。

$ S3 s  t5 R$ s% [, g: j你的子女，其实不是你的子女。
他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。
他们借助你来到这世界，却非因你而来。
他们在你身旁，却并不属于你。
你可以给予他们的是你的爱，却不是你的思想，
# D& q9 V  g/ G6 \) j因为他们有自己的思想。
9 d! q6 F. g. V! a. x你可以庇护的是他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂，
因为他们的灵魂属于明天，属于你做梦都无法到达的明天，
你可以拚尽全力，变得像他们一样，
  _2 |' \; m/ [0 \$ E却不要让他们变得和你一样，
因为生命不会后退，也不在过去停留。
