是真的吗?
一位生活在新加坡的中国麻麻受到启发,与其选择别人创作的绘本,为什么不自己创作?言传身教,岂不是更有效率?于是这位硕士麻麻把自己看的书提炼出精华,凭自己的经验和体会,用超有爱的方式,创意的手法,绘制了一系列的双语漫画作为宝宝出生的见面礼。
亲爱的宝贝Gem Ng,
你已在妈妈肚子里38周,很快就要出来和粑粑麻麻见面了。我们一直在考虑要送给你一个见面礼,这个礼物一定要有趣,而且有意义。
有一天,粑粑和麻麻聊到了各自成长的过程,发现我们有个共同点——因为缺乏家长的引导,导致情商低,做事效率低,性格有很多缺陷 (幸好我们的智商还好,别担心)。我们比别人多走了不少弯路,麻麻花了近10年的时间,才能和别人站在平等的竞争起跑线上,有了温暖的家庭和亲爱的Gem bunny.
麻麻粑粑想把一些让我们感触很深的和收益匪浅的人生经验和习惯,用漫画的形式表现出来,比如幸福的方法,高效能人士的习惯,高情商的沟通,爱的语言,男女的区别(生理心理)…….
其实麻麻一直学习中。回想当年,若是能早一点接触到这些方法和理论,麻麻粑粑的人生可能会相对多一些选择和拥有更丰富的体验层次。
Gem bunny, 有人说让孩子自己去跌跌撞撞获得自己的人生经验会更好,麻麻认同这种观念。只是宝贝成长的过程,少不了父母的正确引导,引导不是干预,分享不是强迫接受,关键在于把握这个度。麻麻能做的就是引导和分享,至于Gem bunny,你的路还是要自己走,棱角还是由你自己选择是否需要磨平。
麻麻粑粑只是希望你拥有幸福的能力,去收获属于自己的精彩人生。所以,这第一次的分享就是关于幸福的方法。妈妈提起多年未动的画笔,用最原始的方法,最简单的工具创作出来的漫画虽然很粗糙,希望Gem bunny未来还是能从中获得营养。
请记住,麻麻粑粑超爱你的。
吻你

My dear Gem bunny,
So exciting we’ll meet you soon, counting down the days you’ll find your way out from mummy’s belly.
We’re preparing a special meaningful present for our dear Gem to welcome you into our world.
One day, Daddy & Mummy have a discussion about our childhood and we discovered that we both lack proper guidance while growing up. As a result we both agreed that we have lower emotional intelligence, we lack the knowledge for doing things more efficiently and we have many character flaws. Mummy said, it took her 10 years to be on par with her peers and can finally start her own family & have dear Gem bunny.
Mummy hopes to share with Gem through the comics some life experiences and good habits which has benefited us in our life journey. Such as, the meaning of truly happiness, the habits of highly effective people, love language, man vs. woman (both physically & mentally)…..even now mummy and daddy is still learning in progress. If we had the opportunity to understand these earlier in our lives, we may likely enhance our experience of living and transform the way we live our lives.
Gem bunny, a wise man once said that it’s better to let children go experience their own lives by facing adversities and challenges and we can’t help but agree. But, before baby grows up, parents’ guidance is equally important, guidance is not interfering or forcing our views, the key is to strike a balance. We can only guide and share, So Gem bunny, the road you have to walk by yourself, it’s your decision to choose your path.
We hope you gain the power and ability in your pursue of happiness, live your own exciting life. So, the 1st sharing is about the method of happiness. Mummy didn’t draw comics for many years. she use the simplest way to create, it looks rough, hopefully our bunny Gem can still absorb the nutrients from it.
Just remember, we love you so so so much.
Kiss,
Daddy Stanley & Mummy Christine
