什么是爱?4-8岁孩子如何描述爱

一群专业人士向一群 4 至 8 岁的孩子提出了这样一个问题:“爱是什么意思?”

他们得到的答案比任何人想象的都要广泛和深刻。看看你的想法……

_____

“我奶奶得了关节炎后,就弯不下腰涂脚趾甲油了。所以我爷爷就一直帮她涂,即使他自己的手也得了关节炎。这就是爱。”

丽贝卡——8岁

_____

“当有人爱你时,他们叫你名字的方式会不一样。你会知道,你的名字在他们的口中是安全的。”

比利 - 4岁

_____

“爱就是让你在疲惫时也能微笑的东西。”

特里 - 4岁

_____

“爱就是妈妈给爸爸煮咖啡时,会先自己抿一口,确保味道合适才给他。”

丹尼——7岁

_____

“爱就是不停地亲吻。即使亲吻累了,你们仍然想待在一起,而且会聊更多。我的爸爸妈妈就是这样。他们亲吻的时候看起来很恶心。”

艾米丽——8岁

_____

“如果你在圣诞节时停止拆礼物,用心聆听,你就会发现房间里有爱。”

鲍比——7岁(哇!)

_____

“如果你想学会更好地去爱,你应该先从一个你讨厌的朋友开始。”

Nikka - 6岁(这个星球上需要几百万个像Nikka一样的人)

_____

“爱情就是当你告诉一个男生你喜欢他的衬衫时,他每天都穿着它。”

诺埃尔——7岁

_____

“爱情就像一对老夫妇,即使彼此非常了解,仍然是朋友。”

汤米——6岁

_____

“在我钢琴独奏会上,我站在舞台上,我很害怕。我看着所有看着我的人,看到我的爸爸在挥手微笑。”

只有他一个人这么做。我不再害怕了。

辛迪——8岁

_____

“爱就是妈妈把最好吃的鸡肉给爸爸。”

伊莱恩 - 5岁

_____

“爱就是妈妈看到爸爸又臭又汗,仍然说他比罗伯特·雷德福还帅。”

克里斯——7岁

_____

“爱就是即使你一整天都把它独自留在家里,你的小狗还是会舔你的脸。”

玛丽·安 - 4岁

_____

“我知道姐姐爱我,因为她把所有旧衣服都给我,自己却要出去买新衣服。”

劳伦 - 4岁

_____

“当你爱上一个人的时候,你的睫毛会上下抖动,仿佛有小星星从你身上冒出来。”(多么美好的画面!)

凯伦——7岁

_____

“爱就是妈妈看到爸爸上厕所,却不觉得恶心。”

马克 - 6岁

_____

“除非你真心实意,否则真的不应该说‘我爱你’。但如果你真心实意,就应该经常说。人们会忘记的。”

杰西卡——8岁

_____

最后一个……

作家兼讲师利奥·布斯卡利亚曾谈到他受邀担任评委的一场比赛。比赛的目的是找出最有爱心的孩子。

获奖者是一位四岁的孩子,他的邻居是一位最近失去了妻子的老先生。

看到老人哭泣,小男孩走进老人的院子,爬到老人的腿上,就那样坐在那里。

当他妈妈问他跟邻居说了什么时,小男孩说:

“没什么,我只是陪他哭了一会儿。”

Love is one of the things that is exempt from scarcity. The more we show our love, the more there is in the world. Love comes into being when we care for one another. It is up to us.

Love is when my husband combed his hair looking in the mirror to look his best when I was coming home after being out all day. He was 82 years old.

When the design flaws of “free will”, such as rape, any physical or emotional harm to babies, children & any other sovereign being is no longer ‘a thing,’ then I will revisit the idea of a participating, protecting, humble, and righteous creator-god

Divine LOVE…yes, I believe that is the most appropriate name for God, Lover of our very souls. I also believe that every good religion of man holds this truth as its essential tenet, its foundation. And so too it is the heart of our nature in Their image.
