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。

你的子女，其实不是你的子女。
5 J# m' w1 ~2 g# z$ ?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。
6 V  F; o  L# W& E# \' Q你可以给予他们的是你的爱，却不是你的思想，
* t( _) j  G$ I. E; y2 n/ _: M因为他们有自己的思想。
  H4 V8 l1 x& }8 S0 {6 l1 }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，
: }& ^4 W! i' U" a. r5 g你可以拚尽全力，变得像他们一样，
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。
你是弓，儿女是从你那里射出的箭。
