How every child can thrive by five?

Molly Wright?

[Baby cooing]

What if I was to tell you that a game of peekaboo could change the world? Sounds impossible, right? Well, I’m here today to prove it’s not.

[寶寶牙牙學(xué)語]

如果我告訴你們 躲貓貓這個游戲可以改變世界呢？聽起來很不可思議，對吧？好吧，那我今天就來證明它的可能。

Hi, I’m Molly and I’m seven. And this is my little friend, Ari. Say “Hi,” Ari. Hi. Oh, and this is my neighbor, Amarjot. He has to take Ari away now to get ready for our experiment. But don't worry, they'll be back.

嗨，我是莫莉，我七歲了。這是我的小伙伴，阿里。說“嗨”，阿里。嗨。哦，還有，這是我的鄰居，阿瑪爾約特。他現(xiàn)在得把阿里帶走 來準(zhǔn)備我們的試驗。但別擔(dān)心，他們會回來的。

My talk today is about some powerful things you grownups can do. that shape us as children and the adults we become. How do I know? Because my parents and people around me did them early and often. I know not all kids are as lucky. Some of my friends, some kids at my school and many around the world. And I would really like to help change that.?

我今天的演講是關(guān)于你們這些大人可以做的一些很厲害的事，它們充盈了我們的童年，并成就了我們的未來。我是怎么知道的呢？因為我父母和身邊的人從小就做這樣做，也常常做。我知道不是所有的小孩子都如此幸運(yùn)。我的一些朋友，我學(xué)校里的一些孩子，還有很多世界各地的孩子。所以，我真的很想要改變這一現(xiàn)狀。?

Thanks to scientists, we now know just how important the first five years are for our health and development, especially our brains. Ari started learning long before he was even born, from inside his mommy’s tummy. When Ari was born, he was tiny and he cried all the time. He was always hungry and he pooped a lot.

感謝科學(xué)家們，我們現(xiàn)在知道，五歲前的成長對我們的健康和發(fā)展是多么重要，尤其是我們的大腦。阿里早在出生前就已經(jīng)開始學(xué)習(xí)了，從他在媽媽的肚子里開始。當(dāng)阿里出生時，他很小，也一直在哭。他總是肚子餓，也拉得很多。

Now he laughs and giggles and makes funny noises. But those are just the changes we hear and see. That’s way more going on inside.

他現(xiàn)在常?？┛┛┑匦?，還發(fā)出奇奇怪怪的聲音。但這些只是我們看到和聽到的變化，在他身體里面，發(fā)生了更多的變化。

So, let’s talk more about our brains. The blue bag is a rough size and weight of a healthy baby’s brain at birth. The red one is a baby’s brain after the first year. It almost doubles in volume. And by my age, it's almost 90 percent the volume of an adult brain. Our brains develop faster in our early years than at any other time in our lives. It can create up to one million neural connections every second.?

那么，讓我們來談?wù)勎覀兊拇竽X。圖中藍(lán)色袋子的大小和重量和一個健康寶寶出生時的大腦差不多，圖中紅色的是寶寶一歲后的大腦，它的體積長了近兩倍。當(dāng)?shù)搅宋疫@么大時，它幾乎是成年人大腦體積的 90%。與人生其他階段相比，我們的大腦在幼年時期發(fā)育得更快， 它每秒可以產(chǎn)生多達(dá) 100 萬個神經(jīng)連接。

But we need your help. Our healthy development depends on these top five things, One, connecting; two, talking; three, playing; four, a healthy home, five; community. All of this helps our brains and us reach our full potential.

但我們需要你們的幫助。我們的健康發(fā)展取決于這五個方面。第一，建立聯(lián)系；第二，說話；第三，玩耍；第四，一個健康的家庭；第五，社區(qū)。這些幫助我們和我們的大腦來充分發(fā)揮我們的潛力。

So what’s something you can do that can really make a difference? Scientists call it serve and return. That’s just a grown-up way of saying connect, talk and play with us. And here’s the really big news. Amarjot, Ari, you ready?

那么，我們能做些什么才能帶來真正的改變呢？科學(xué)家們稱之為給予和回應(yīng)。這就是成年人所謂的與孩子互動、說話和玩耍。而現(xiàn)在才是重頭戲。阿瑪爾約特，阿里，準(zhǔn)備好了嗎？

Amajat: Ready?

Molly Wright: Copycat games build imagination and empathy. Naming games build vocabulary and attention.

Amarjot: Daddy. Ari. Daddy. Ari.

MW: And games like peekabo -- yep, peekaboo -- actually build memory and trust.

Amarjot: Peekaboo!

阿瑪爾約特：好了？

莫莉·萊特：模仿游戲可以建立 想象力和同理心。命名游戲可以增強(qiáng)詞匯量和專注力。

阿：爸爸，阿里。爸爸，阿里。

莫：還有像是躲貓貓的游戲—— 對，躲貓貓—— 可以建立記憶和信任。

阿瑪爾約特：皮卡布！

MW: Each time you talk to us, play with us, make us laugh, it not only builds and strengthens our relationships and mental health, it actually teaches us some of the most important life skills, from making friends to taking the test, to getting a job, to one day maybe even starting a family of our own. Interactions early and often matter. Take it from me, the seven-year-old up here talking about brain science.

莫莉：每一次你們和我們說話，和我們玩，逗我們笑，這不止建立和鞏固 我們的關(guān)系和精神健康，它也能教我們一些最重要的人生技能，從交朋友到參加考試，到找工作，到甚至在未來的某一天建立自己的家庭。幼年時期的互動往往很重要。相信我，一個站在這里說著腦科學(xué)的七歲小孩。

OK, now let’s see what happens when the connection is taken away. So now he’s trying to get his dad’s attention again. He’s reaching out like, “That was fun, why have you stopped?”

好的，讓我們現(xiàn)在來看看當(dāng)這個親自聯(lián)系不在時會發(fā)生什么，他現(xiàn)在想再次引起他爸爸的注意。他伸出手像是在說：“剛剛很有趣啊，你為什么不玩了？”

I know it’s important for adults to use their devices sometimes, but kids are hardwired to seek out meaningful connections, not receiving them causes confusion and stress. OK, Amarjot, please re-engage.

Amarjot: Ah, there’s Ari.

我明白有時對成年人而言 看看他們的屏幕很重要，但是小孩子天生就會要尋找有意義的互動，如果收不到回應(yīng)，就會給他們帶來困惑和壓力。好的，阿瑪爾約特，請重新回應(yīng)阿里。

阿：啊，阿里在這兒。

MW: Now what if our whole childhood was like that last 30 seconds? How hard it would be for a child to feel calm. To feel safe. To learn to trust anyone. And the lifelong impact that would have. That makes me feel sad. Ari only reacted the way he did and recovered so quickly because the connection between him and his dad is usually so strong. The positive relationships with the grown-ups in our lives gives kids the confidence we need to try new things, to explore and be a kid.

莫：所以如果我們整個童年都是像剛才那三十秒一樣度過的呢？那樣對于一個小孩來說，感到平靜，感到安全 學(xué)會相信別人會有多么困難，而這會帶來一生的影響。這讓我感到難過。阿里這樣的反應(yīng)以及很快地恢復(fù)狀態(tài)是因為他和父親之間的關(guān)系是很牢固的。在我們的生命中與大人之間的積極關(guān)系可以帶給小孩子們所需的自信，去嘗試新東西，去探索，做個小孩子。

So please, try to remember the most special period for our development is the first five years. Starting from inside mommy’s tummy. What’s something really impactful you can do? Serve and return. And when? Early and often. Please give it up for a Amarjot and Ari.

所以，拜托你們，要記住，我們成長發(fā)展 階段中的黃金時期是從出生后的五年，從在媽媽肚子里開始。你們能做什么能真正帶來影響的事情呢？給予和回應(yīng)。那什么時候呢？盡早且盡可能多去做。請為阿瑪爾約特和阿里鼓掌。

Every moment together is an opportunity to connect, talk and play. Imagine the difference we could make if everyone everywhere did this. To us, the children, it’s so much more than just a game. It's our future.Thank you. See? Peekaboo really can change the world.

在一起的每一瞬間都是 建立聯(lián)系、去交談和玩耍的機(jī)會。想象如果世界上的每個人都這么做，我們將會帶來什么不同。對于我們這些小孩，這不僅僅是一場小游戲， 這是我們的未來。謝謝?？吹絾?？躲貓貓真的可以改變世界。
